Use this data to determine an answer to the question, "How have sea level and saltmarsh sparrow numbers changed over time?"

Why do insects shoot their frass? Is it to deter their enemies? What do you think after examining this set of data?

What affects do different drugs have on spiders and their abilities to make their webs? Students look at the area of different webs to predict an answer to this question. The raw data is available for this experiment.

Does the temperature affect plants flowering? Use this data to determine the answer to this question while looking for patterns and making predictions. Students can interact with the raw data from this experiement.

Have students learn about scatterplots, linear regression and predictions in this classic example of determining how the number of species has changed over time.

What kind of gasses are in the soil and what do they emit? Study and interpret this data by creating scatterplots and trend lines.

Practice finding the mean while looking for an answer to the question, "Is there any evidence that mudsnails are causing the decline in fish populations through their effects on invertebrate populations?"

Does the diameter of a tree determine how suseptable it is to a fungus? Use this data to create a scatterplot and see if there is any correlation.

What does a male stickleback fish do to attract a female? Review this data to find out.

Discuss independent and independent variables as you learn about relationships between coral, algae and urchins. Look for patterns and determine if there are any relationships between these different sea creatures by reading or creating your own graphical representations.

This activity asks students to recognize differences in shapes and sort them. They are given a set of 15 shape cards that they can sort by the criteria of color, size and shape. Ideas for implementation, extension and support are included along with a printable sheet of the cards.

This task asks the students to solve a real-world problem involving unit rates (data per unit time) using units that many teens and pre-teens have heard of but may not know the definition for. While the computations involved are not particularly complex, the units will be abstract for many students.

This lesson will be creating a digital story focused around standard,Data and Analysis (DA):Computing systems exist to process data. The amount of digital data generated in the world is rapidly expanding, and the need to process data effectively is increasingly important. Data is collected and stored so it can be analyzed to better understand the world and make more accurate predictions.Standard 2.DA.1Demonstrate how to store, copy, search, retrieve, modify and delete information using a computing device, and define the information stored as data. (Practice 4: Developing and Using Abstractions)Students will demonstrate how to create, modify, and save projects using the devices, platforms, applications, and software available. Data can be images, text documents, audio files, software programs or apps, video files, etc. The information is specific to data, not text within a single text document.

Database Design - 2nd Edition covers database systems and database design concepts. New to this edition are SQL info, additional examples, key terms and review exercises at the end of each chapter.

Students will learn about the functions and purposes of responsible dating including dating behaviors, values, responsibilities and refusal skills.

In this video segment adapted from NOVA, scientists search for carbonized remains of plants preserved in lava flows to find out how long it has taken rain forests on Hawaii to regenerate after a volcanic eruption.

Students will be able to explore their feeling on love. They will first write down their feelings. Then as a class talk about love and infatuation, and what the differences are. Students will learn about the Ladder of Love and write a love poem of their own.

Simulate the original experiment that proved that electrons can behave as waves. Watch electrons diffract off a crystal of atoms, interfering with themselves to create peaks and troughs of probability.

This lesson introduces the concept of cause and effect with Trinka Hakes Noble's books about Jimmy and his boa constrictor. Each lesson begins with the teacher reading a new story about Jimmy and his boa and the chaos they bring to each place they visit. Class discussions about each event and its cause are followed by tasks for the students to help illustrate understanding of the concept. Students create cause-and-effect pictures, puzzles, and flow charts as they explore the genre. As a culminating activity, students write their own book with causes and effects, which are assessed with a rubric.
