Students research and collect data regarding temperature changes for a specific location and find the mean, median, and mode for their data. For this climate change lesson, students choose a location to research and collect data...

Third graders navigate the Internet and research spiders.  In this spider lesson, 3rd graders view photos of spiders and use their characteristics to determine the variety of spider.  Students complete a spider data sheet.

Students explore waves and wind. In this physical and earth science wave lesson, students participate in a wave making activity with an aquarium and a hair dryer. Students complete a data chart recording wave height and related factors....

Students explore the reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction through experimentation. In small groups, they use everyday objects to demonstrate the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students graph and...

Students use a mathematical simulation of genetic drift to answer questions about the factors that influence this evolutionary process. They run a series of simulations varying allele frequency and population size and then analyze their...

Students are introduced to the concept of specific heat. In groups, they are given a set of data showing the temperatures of air and soil samples in which they calculate the ranges of the data. They identify whether the air or soil...

In this Hubble's law worksheet, students use data for galaxies which include their distance and speed. Students make a graph to show the distance to each galaxy and the speed of each galaxy. They use their graph to answer 4 questions...

In this air pollution and weather worksheet, learners collect data using an online animation to determine the air quality at given times along with the wind speed and temperature in a particular city. Students make 3 bar graphs using the...

Students as a class create a fountain using both coke soda, and mentos candy. In this science lesson plan, students test which combination of coke and mentos products produce the tallest fountain. Students use the scientific method to...

Students analyze data on elk ecology and movements across the highway. In this ecology lesson, students research ways to save them from highway collisions. They write a report and present their findings in class.

In this designing a study activity, students conduct a study on all types of fish that live in the Hudson River. They complete 8 various types of questions that include mostly short answer in response to their findings. Students also...

In this mapping worksheet, students are given data of children exposed to health risks and their geographical location. Students plot each child's home and the risk factors using an (x, y) grid. They answer 2 questions about the...

Learners test water for its quality and record their information.In this water quality lesson plan, students investigate water for pH, macro invertebrates and identify its characteristics. Learners complete worksheets on their data for...

Students study how to interpret a bathymetric map. They study the main features of the continental margin. They plot and graph bathymetric data. They think about and discuss the bathymetry of the edge of the cont

Students research volcano hazards in VolcanoWorld, make a paper volcano, produce and watch the effects of ashfall, produce and watch the effects of a mudflow and create a hazard map by plotting historical ashfall/mudflow data from Mount...

High schoolers generate a radioactive decay table for an imaginary element using a box filled with pinto beans and M&M's. They use their data to plot a decay graph, develop the concept of half-life, and use the graph to "age" several...

Students find the density of two substances. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of water and ethyl alcohol and compare their densities. They enter their data into the computer to produce a class compiled graph....

Eighth graders investigate the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas in a closed container. They measure the height of the water in their beaker/container, conduct their experiment, and create a graph to illustrate their data.

Students determine the heat of fusion of ice. In this heat of fusion lesson plan, students use a calorimeter to measure the molar heat of fusion of ice. Students determine the heat required to melt one mole of ice using hot water and ice...

Students compare three sets of unlabeled human chromosomes and gather related data, trace chromosomes to pair them, and make observations about them.

In this kinetics worksheet, students solve six problems mostly about reaction rates. Included is a problem where students calculate reaction rates of sucrose and water and plot the data of the reaction.

Young scholars investigate relative mass using 8 different items. In this relative masses lesson plan, students discuss as a class John Dalton's atomic theory. They take the masses of the 8 items and record their data. They discuss...

In this ketchup worksheet, students investigate the thickness of different types of ketchup. They hypothesize, identify their independent and dependent variables, test their hypothesis and write conclusions based on their data.

Students, in groups of four,identify and analyze relationships among birds within a population, a community and an urban ecosystem. They fill out, while they're completing their experiments, a Populations of Birds Student Data Sheet.
