Real World Data Investigators

Description

This learning resource focuses on the analysis and interpretation of various real-world data sets. Students will engage in activities that involve examining weather data from San Jose to identify temperature trends and patterns over months. Additionally, they will analyze athlete performance metrics using Z-scores and probabilities to make claims supported by evidence and reasoning. The resource also emphasizes regional recycling rates and encourages students to synthesize data to understand factors affecting these rates, predict future trends, and reflect on their learning process. Scaffolded guided questions help guide students in drawing conclusions based on the data, while formative check-ins assess their confidence in data interpretation and analysis.
