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

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.

Real-Life Statistics Project
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.
I have my kids put all of this information on a poster or make a powerpoint presentation to show the class. I find this activity re

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
