In this lesson the students use a thermometer to collect, record, and graph daily temperatures for two weeks. A variety of bean seeds are planted in flower pots or milk cartons, watered, and placed in a sunny window. As the bean plant grows up an attached support string, its height may be measured in either inches or meters and the number of days recorded on graph paper that has been placed behind the plant. Provides practice in measuring circumference and diameter in centimeters. The downloaded lists can then be sorted, manipulated, and graphed on your computer in the same way that any Clarisworks spreadsheet is manipulated.
Students collect and analyze data.
This activity focuses on a measurement activity that incorporates the concept of mean, median, and range using the Statistics Workshop. After writing statistics found in both standard and expanded form, they are asked to compare, order and list the cities from greatest to least population.
