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...), measu

Spring into Statistics Data Displays and Measures of Center Lab
This is a hands-on lab that teaches about Statistical Questions, Data Displays (dot/line plot, histograms, box plots) and Measures of Center (mean, median, mode, and range). The lab includes notes pages, examples with answer keys, and a final project in which the student can survey classmates and create a "flower" by using their data to find mean, median, mode, range. They will also create a box plot, histogram and dot plot.
Sickle Cell Data Analysis: Hardy-Weinberg and Chi-Square
Want a great way to convert the "traditional" Hardy-Weinberg lab into a data problem set? Here it is! This is ideal for very small classes, where sample size could be an issue, busy classes, where you may need this for additional at-home practice, or very large classes, where the swapping of H-W cards could get too messy.Included is the full data problem set and teacher pages with the answer key.This data problem set covers:-genotypes and phenotypes-the Hardy-Weinberg equation, with application

Holly Leaf Spines: an example of natural selection and adaptation
In this lab we will answer the question: Is the number of spines the same on leaves found at all heights on the Holly tree? Holly is just one example of the fluctuations in shape and form of an organism; the variation that any species can exhibit. It is important to recognize that this variation, or plasticity, is normal, and often relates to different environmental conditions (including competition and predation). The ability of an organism to change its characteristics in response to environ
