Will it rain during the weekend? Pupils become meteorologists for a day as they use the assessment to determine the chance of rain for Saturday and Sunday. Class members interpret the weather statements as they pertain to probabilities...

Young mathematicians study probability. In this math lesson, learners calculate odds, and convert those into percentages of probability. Fractions are also used, making this lesson quite rich in some of the more difficult conversions...

We know a coin should have a 50/50 chance of landing on tails. But what is the probability if it lands 43 out of 83 times? Use the lesson and accompanying resources to teach, practice, and assess about probability of events. 

Students observe how chance affects which genes appear in gametes (Mendel's Law of Segregation). They use beans to represent the recombination of alleles during fertilization.

Students complete a lab based on how chance affects which genes appear in gametes as in Mendel's Law of Segregation. They review the theories, vocabulary words, and historical background of Gregor Mendel's work with pea plants. They...

How likely is it that the school cafeteria will serve chicken tomorrow? Discover the concept of probability with the roll of the dice. Pupils evaluate the liklihood of several statments about everyday life. Then, a mathematical...

There is a 100 percent chance this resource will help pupils connect percents to financial literacy. Young mathematicians use their knowledge of percents to find markups and markdowns in financial situations in the seventh segment in a...

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

Students are introduced to the concepts of probability and chance. Using data given to them, they organize and create a chart to display the information. Using this chart, they calculate the percentage of chance and probability and...

A two-part lesson immerses young statisticians in the concept of probability. On the first day, will conduct experiments with a two-colored coin and learn how to write probabilities as fractions, ratios, and percentages. In the second...

Students practice skills involving statistics and probability by making predictions on number of each color candy in one pound bag of M&Ms. They record both guesses and actual quantities, calculate percentages, and create bar graphs...

Bulls eye! Design dart boards with specific chances of winning. Individuals determine the probability of hitting a circular and a triangular dart board inscribed in squares. They create dart boards that have a 50 percent chance of...

Small groups devise a plan to find the bag that contains the larger percentage of blue chips. they then institute their plans and compare results to the actual quantities in the bags. 

Pupils determine the probability of one mayoral candidate winning given the other's chance. The interactive provides a circle graph to help visualize each candidate's percentages of winning.

What fabrics are our clothes made of? Where do those fabrics from? Lead your pupils to discover the answers to these questions and more. Class members have a chance to play with various fabrics, invesitgating the materials and...

Students examine the relationship between probability and geometry to solve problems. In this geometry and probability lesson, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of landing on a...

Discover possible genetic outcomes through Punnett Squares. Learners continue studying genetic traits in the 10th lesson in the 17-part series. After determining the father of Sparky's kittens, scholars now attempt to predict the traits...

In this probability worksheet, students solve thirty-six fractional probabilities involving the rolling of a dice to specific scenarios, game spinners, sweets in a bag and random colors. Students check their answers online as they go.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of probability. They use the game of hangman to create engagement and context for conducting the lesson. They create a spreadsheet with data that is given. Students make predictions based on data.

Students conduct a number of experiments involving evaporation and condensation. They view and discuss a video about the water cycle and then design posters about the rain based on the book "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs".

In this Richter and Mercalli scale learning exercise, students answer questions about these two types of scales and how to read each. They answer questions about the Mercalli scale and Richter scale given percentages and magnitudes of...

First graders use probability terminology to describe all possible outcomes of certain events. In this probability lesson, 1st graders use counters to create a pretend "purse" of objects. Students create their own probability...

Fourth graders examine weather data for Columbus, Ohio using an Internet resource. They complete a two day and a weekly weather charts before discussing the information. After the discussion, they answer questions about the charts...

If your pupils think a catalyst is a list of their cats, then this might be the lesson for you! Young chemists study the effect of temperature, catalysts, concentration, and particle size on reaction rates during four different...
