Using Computer for Statistical Analysis
Students examine the use for spreadsheets in analyzing data. They make spreadsheets that display and calculate a given data set such as temperature change.
Curated OER
Cloud Discovery
Learners create a HyperStudio stack that describes and illustrates twelve different kinds of clouds. They then make inferences about which types of weather the different types of clouds could help predict.
Curated OER
Cloud Discovery
Students create a slideshow that pictorially depicts a variety of cloud types. They research clouds, develop and present the slideshow and then evaluate their efforts based on a rubric for self-evaluation.
