Worksheet and access to a spreadsheet program. Divide students into groups. Have students develop a survey question. Have students list the possible responses to their question. Check each group's question as well as their possible responses.
Students develop a frequency table based upon the possible responses.
Instead of using the included handout, assign students to make a similar table using a spreadsheet program. Students survey other students in the class. Based upon the information gathered, the students use a spreadsheet to make a graph. This would be a good opportunity to reinforce the purpose of different types of graphs. Students write a summary of what their graph represents.
