Experimental Probability Activity (dice lab)
In this activity students work with a partner to roll a pair of dice (many times) and record the sum of the dice in a data collection sheet. Once the data has been collected the students are walked through the process of calculating the experimental probability for each sum and then the theoretical probability for each sum and are asked questions about the differences they find between the values. Students also make a bar graph using the percentages for theoretical probability and can visually s

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

Theoretical vs Experimental Probability Lab (includes making predictions)
This is a fun, student-centered activity in which students working with a partner will conduct an experimental lab tossing 2 coins. After completing the lab, they will draw conclusions based upon the results of the activity concerning the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. Then they use experimental probability to make predictions. I have included the lab activity, a follow-up worksheet which can be used to engage student discussion after the lab, and a worksheet for

Standard Error and Standard Deviation in AP Biology
Statistics is one of those components in AP Biology that is brand new to students.Without a proper introductory lesson to standard error and standard deviation, students can struggle with this all year. Fortunately, this lesson truly walks your students through the process of defining standard deviation and error, applying the concept of error bars with statistical analysis, and graphing data with error bars to make their own statistical analysis. A PowerPoint is included as well to guide the le

How Many Licks to the Center of a Tootsie Pop? Statistics!
Looking for novel way to get your middle school students excited about math and statistics?!
This file contains everything you need to conduct the experiment (except the Tootsie Pops!) that answers the age old question "How many licks does it take to get the center of a tootsie pop?" The lesson covers mean, median, mode, range, outliers, tables, graphs, box and whisker plots, data collection, pre and post discussion questions, experimental procedures, and student reflection.

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.

Scatterplots Linear Regression Line of Best Fit Forearms & Height (Editable)
After teaching my students about scatterplots, correlation, and the line of best fit, I take a day for them to do a hands-on lab, in which they measure their height (in inches) and their forearm length (from the tip of their elbow, to the bony point on their wrist), and we plot the class data, write the equation of the line of best fit, and then use the equation generated both forwards and backwards. They will need 45 minutes to an hour to do this in class.

Students must think of a survey question that can be answered numerically. Then, they must go out into their community or school and ask at least 15 people their question. After collecting their data, they must find the minimum, maximum, range, mean, median, and mode. Also, they must graph their results, and answer a few reflection questions about their data.
