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.

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
