Description
Science fair project that helps you teach data management, statistics and probability. Real data and meaningful science! The data literacy and research project covers everything middle school students need to know about collecting and interpreting data for their own animal observation observation project. Great for science fairs! Learn about collecting objective, non-bias data and how to recognize it in the real world.
→ Everything is included to have students learn about data, collect data and present a meaningful research project.
Students can personalize their project so each student will end up with different findings, data, and a different presentation!
This unit walks students through creating an animal observation scientific research project. Each project will be a little different, but the example uses bird observations. It can easily be adapted for each student's animal of choice, from spiders to coyotes, whatever is in your area! There is even instructions on how to find and use observation data available online.
The final result is a presentation of meaningful data about the animals in your area.
⏰ 4-5 weeks worth of work for most middle school students.
Can be done independently and completely remotely.
