In this activity, students understand the relationship between enzyme reaction rates and various environmental factors such as pH and temperature. They recognize the metabolic differences between endotherms and exotherms. They generate...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this "fun" lesson has students creating paper airplanes and testing different variables (weight, wings, etc.) to see what type of plane flies the best. Data Analysis and imagination are both...

Rainforests at the Crossroads: Measure the CO2 level in a bottle that contains spinach leaves when it is exposed to light. Then collect CO2 data and observe the effects of photosynthesis as you add leaves in the bottle.

In this activity, students will analyze data using Newton's Law of Heating and an exponential equation. Asks students to make connections between Newton's Law of Heating and the exponential equation.

In this activity, students compute statistical measures like the mean, standard deviation, and variance of the data set. They understand how measures of variability can be interpreted.

In these questions, students will find the linear equation of best fit for a set of data and interpret the correlation coefficient. Questions are multiple-choice and true/false; solutions are provided.

Disappearing Wetlands: Examine changes in sediment deposition at locations along the Mississippi River using data collected at two stations by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

In this activity, students' find the surface area of geometric shapes cut from card paper and relate it to its mass. They use this data to find the surface area of irregularly shaped objects.

Students will find the mean and median of a set of data.

Rainforests at the Crossroads: Simulate the greenhouse effect by collecting and analyzing temperature data in three conditions: an open beaker, a covered beaker, and a covered beaker into which they breathe. Simulate the sun with a lamp...

This activity uses the peaks of the ball bounce data to produce an exponential function.

Based off the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to the concept of random numbers and shows how human-generated random numbers are not always "really" random. This is done by framing the lesson in terms of...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduced students to simple coding techniques (namely, the shift cipher). Students learn to translate codes from nonsense to English by quantifying each letter, and then...

In this activity you will: Model data using a linear equation; interpret the slope and intercept values from a linear model; identify a characteristic property of a substance; and examine the relationship between mass, volume, and density.

In this activity, students' will use a force sensor to measure the weight of a water filled funnel as it drains. They analyze the weight versus time data and describe it using concepts of slope and intercepts of a linear function.

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to record the distance versus time data for the simple motion of a walker. They will calculate velocity from this graph and compare it with the velocity graph generated by the...

In this activity students will measure various body parts looking for the golden ratio. The teacher will collect the various measurements from the calculators and send an augmented list to the students calculators. Students will then...

Step by step instructions are given for the students to draw a segment, find the midpoint, and label the coordinates of the two endpoints and the midpoint. The students then record the data in a table for various segments. Based on the...

Students will generate data on the CBL 2 to represent a linear function. They will investigate the slope of a direct variation. Then they will use different starting points to represent y intercept.

In this activity, students compare human body mass with blood volume. They graph the data and build a regression model. They estimate their own blood volume and also predict volumes of blood for other animals.

Students investigate the relationship between the vapor pressure of liquid and its temperature. They use a Pressure Sensor and a Temperature Probe to collect pressure and temperature data. Students compare the vapor pressure of two liquids.

In this activity, students' will use a pressure sensor to investigate the relationship between pressure and volume for an enclosed air sample, and fit an inverse function model to the pressure versus volume data.

In this activity, students will explore the Law of Large Numbers. By examining unfair models, they will expand their understanding of probability. They predict the weighting of an unfair model by analyzing experimental data and...

In this activity, students create lists of data points, plot them on a graph, and determine the regression equation of the best fitting line. They also understand exactly how the linear regression is determined.
