Error Olympics
Students will actively estimate and calculate values (ex. the temperature of water) to determine percent error. This is a great active lesson since kids will be moving from station to station to complete their data collection, ideally in small groups.
Aside from simply learning to calculate percent error, students will also learn the value of accurate data collection.
Paper "Olympic Medals" are also included to award the students at the end whose estimates were closest to their actual val

AP Statistics: Simulation Lab Worksheet
This activity provides the basics of creating and running a random simulation. There are key terms as well as a defined procedure to follow. The questions are scaffolded to assist in completion and the level of scaffolding decreases as the worksheet progresses. AP Statistics Unit 3: Collecting Data.

Theory in Practice
This activity requires students to flip a coin 100 times and calculate the cumulative probability for each trial of ten. Students should begin to develop the concept of theoretical versus experimental probability as the cumulative number of flips increases. Recognizing independent events, graphing scatter plots, and calculating percentages are skills students will practice during this activity. Teachers may use this activity as an introductory lesson for a unit on probability, in a statistics

Candy Probability: Discovery of EXPERIMENTAL vs. THEORETICAL Probability
Middle Schoolers LOVE probability!
This is a GREAT lesson around Halloween when the kids are already hyped up on sugar and want to 'talk' to their classmates.
This activity allows the students to DISCOVER the differences between EXPERIMENTAL and THEORETICAL probability and connect it to everyday experiences. The probability lesson lends itself to fractions, decimals, percents, data collection, rational & irrational numbers, statistical graphs (box and whiskers, frequency tables...), measures

M and M Quadrat Sampling Lab for Population Density
If the weather does not permit you to go outside to do real quadrat sampling why not do this one instead? M and Ms take the place of trees. I think you could also modify this activity for a math class in terms of studying probability. It would create a real-life application for probability.

Chi Square Lesson and Activities for AP Biology
Make teaching chi-square analysis simple, engaging, and effective!This classroom-tested activity is designed to introduce AP Biology students to the fundamentals of chi-square analysis through a highly scaffolded, hands-on learning experience. Students begin by exploring key vocabulary, statistical concepts, and the purpose of hypothesis testing before progressing to guided practice and real-world applications.Throughout the lesson, students calculate and interpret chi-square values using a vari

Game On! Hypothesis Testing: 1-Sample t-Test for Means Lab
This lab asks students to apply concepts of 1-sample t-test of means in a real world context. They are able to play/simulate games and determine if their theoretical calculation is accurate.
This lab integrates hypothesis testing based on two carnival games. Spiraling expected value and random variable topics from previous chapters will help themto prepare them with a "big picture" when it comes to the AP Statistics Exam.
(For the high flyers: It also asks students to develop of higher orde

Statistics: Ducks to Wind (an Ogive Activity)
Engage your students with this hands-on statistics project where they throw rubber ducks as far as they can und use the data to build an ogive (cumulative frequency graph). This activity brings statistics to life and helps students master frequency distributions, cumulative frequency, and graphical analysis through a fun and memorable experiment. What’s Included Student Worksheet (data collection, frequency tables, cumulative frequency, ogive graphing, analysis questions) Teacher Answer Key
