Analyzing & Interpreting Data by tracy evans https://padlet.com/evans_tracy9/data How can we engage our students in analyzing & interpreting data? en-us 2017-11-12 16:53:10 UTC 2025-12-13 23:24:13 UTC hello@padlet.com 7th Life Science https://padlet.com/evans_tracy9/data/wish/206525575 Provide documents on Industrial Revolution and Peppered Moth population over time and have students analyze the population graphs/charts and CER how and why the population changed over time. 

Do natural selection lab/ limited resources lab and scaffold with students how to graph data and analyze it to make claims about how processes affect populations over time]]> 2017-11-13 23:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/evans_tracy9/data/wish/206525575 HS Physical Science https://padlet.com/evans_tracy9/data/wish/206526275 Analyze and interpret the relationship between mass and gravitational force for falling objects (8c)
- Constructing free-body diagrams and graphs for terminal velocity 
- Match situations to graphs 
- Create scenarios for partner to graph 

Analyze and interpret data to interpret trends of the following:  valence electrons, types of ions formed by main group elements, location and physical and chemical properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids
-  Identify trends on PTOE (creating a key and color-coding) 
- Create “family groups” in choice of graphic organizer
- Possibly show students data from PTOE in graph (trend) for valence electrons, but have students determine labels 

Analyze and interpret data to predict to properties of ionic and covalent compounds, common chemical symbols, formulas, and characteristics 
- After bonding with a classmate activity (ionic bond), have students group in different ways according  to characteristics – identify trends 
- Patterns in bonding (subscripts – criss/cross)

Biotic potential activity: count seeds in a piece of fruit, calculate # of trees, fruits per tree, etc and graph the population over multiple populations when there are no limiting factors.

Logistic growth: Provide external data in which students must postulate on what limiting factors led to the leveling off seen on a logistic graph. Another idea: "Bear Necessities" from Project Wild]]> 2017-11-13 23:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/evans_tracy9/data/wish/206526279 Day Sky https://padlet.com/evans_tracy9/data/wish/206526893 Students go outside to observe the daytime sky. Students will draw their observations in the science notebooks. They found the moon in the daytime sky. We discussed why.]]> 2017-11-13 23:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/evans_tracy9/data/wish/206526893
