Graphing and analyzing data is vital to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Math Common Core. This resource uses real data from a Vermont trade school to explore questions related to the Spring treat: maple syrup. Maple syrup is being made right now! This lesson comes with: -Background -Analysis questions practicing different graph types -CER (claim, evidence, reasoning) practice -Answer key with all graphs, claims, and final CER Can be used as graphing and data analysis review, hom

Teaching circumference and diameter conversions? Teaching graphing or data literacy? If you schools has any trees, this hands-on outdoor activity is for you! All you need are flexible measuring tapes, chalk, and this sheet for students to gain real-life experience converting circumference to diameter. It is also a great lab for learning graphing! I use it when teaching variability and frequency graphs (dot plots, box plots, histograms). Please download the Free Tree Measurement Data for studen

Teaching circumference and diameter conversions? Teaching graphing or data literacy? Here is dataset of 50 trees you can use to explore! Excel file includes #, diameter of tree, and whether it is a deciduous or coniferous. It's an easy way to use real science data in the classroom. Goes great with Tree Measuring Lab.

How can we explore data collected on NOAA Ship Pisces to improve our data literacy skills? Objectives/Learning Goals: -Students will Identify scientific questions that can be answered with available data. -Students will choose the best graph type to use according to the graph choice chart. -Students will properly create a the graph that will best answer your scientific question according to the checklist provided. -Students will analyze their graph to answer their chosen scientific question bas

Your students need a resource to identify what type of graph they need to use. The graph choice chart is a fantastic resource developed by the Maine Data Literacy Project and was featured in The Science Teacher, Nov. 2014. They're work is also used by TuvaLabs.com. This worksheet helps students (and teachers) practice how to use the amazing tool! Full answer key is provided with worksheet. I was a part of the Maine Data Literacy Project and am available to answer all questions around data lite

In this lab students use rice as stars to simulate how scientists estimate how many stars are out there. An effective way to experience estimation and practical science in astronomy! Goes well with: Modeling Fusion ActivityBuild a Telescope Lab: Reflection and Refraction Fun!Star Spectroscopy/Electromagnetic Spectrum Lab

A 3 part climate change project exploring different ocean indicators as evidence of climate change. Students create, interpret, and analyze graphs and data. Students also delve into what makes valid science and the technology used. This project complements Global Climate Change Project: Ice Out and may be used concurrently with or as another option for students. Great for NGSS. **This product is available in the Climate Change BUNDLE at a discounted rate**

A 3 part climate change project exploring ice out (the date winter ice melts) as evidence of climate change. Students create, interpret, and analyze graphs and data. Students also delve into what makes valid science. This project complements Global Climate Change Project: Oceans and may be used concurrently with or as another option for students. Great for NGSS. **This product is available in the Climate Change BUNDLE at a discounted rate**
