Just Me and My Shadow
Students take measurements throughout the day using a simple sundial called a gnomon. They record the results on a Data Log and convert from English units to metric (S.I.) units. Data points are plotted on the same graph and analyzed.

Range, Mode, and Median
Fifth and sixth graders sort data from least to greatest and mark an X on the line plot to show how many of each number. Then they determine the range, mode, and median for the problem.
