Students should respond anonymously to provide safety and comfort in dealing with potentially sensitive questions. Collect survey responses and sort them by question number. Divide students into groups and assign each group a set of survey responses to compile, categorize and analyze. Students work in teams to compile and tally class responses for their assigned question. Students use percentages to show relationships between data items.
Students analyze data, generalizing observations and theories about their results.
Students work in teams to prepare posterboard presentations about their findings. Name the types of physical activity that you engage in each week. Name the types of sedentary activities you spend most of your time doing. Students take notes on the main data findings as each group presents. They take home their notes and data in order to complete a reflective essay for homework.
