Using Computers to Produce Spreadsheets and Bar Graphs

Here is a cross-curricular ecology and technology lesson; your learners create spreadsheets depicting the location and number of groundhog dens in a local park. They research groundhogs and analyze data about where the groundhog...

One-hundred percent of those reading this sentence are human beings. Wait, what? With part eight in the Crash Course: Navigating Digital Information set, pupils learn how to think critically about statistics. Scholars discover how...

Scholars create colorful bar, line, or pie graphs. They decide on a survey question to ask or a type of data to gather. From there, they collect information and data. They display this data in bar, line, or pie graphs that they create...

Fifth graders create data graphs using Microsoft Excel. In this data collection activity, 5th graders create and conduct a survey, then use Excel to organize and graph their data.

Students use the computer and S'COOL data for statistical analysis.

Students learn how to use and analyze data to draw conclusions about information collected from classmates. Then they use computational thinking by collecting and aggregating data onto a spreadsheet, identifying patterns in their data,...

By using Microsoft Excel, students collect, decompose, and re-aggregate class data. Students use computational thinking skills by decomposing long lists of information and writing basic algorithms to help analyze data.

Students work with large tables of GPS data and sort, manipulate, and visualize the data so it can be easily understood.

Students analyze data gathered from sensors and develop filtering algorithms for anomalies and outliers, then use these algorithms to make decisions on sensor data as it is being collected.

Data Crunches feature one chart or graph followed by five scaffolded questions to guide students through analyzing the data and drawing conclusions. These sets of data help students understand financial concepts.
