| Standard 3: Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability |
| 1.3.1 - Identify and display various forms of data
in their world using charts and graph; e.g., tally charts and bar
graphs |
We're Into Pumpkins |
Students put collected data about pumpkins into
a graph. |
| Let's Celebrate! |
Students list and tally the total times that each
celebration was selected during interviews. Students make a simple
bar or picture graph to show favorite celebrations. |
| Germ Busters |
Students use the information that was recorded
and put into graphs about the growth of microbes on three different
potatoes. The students use the graphs to determine which potatoes
grew the least microbes; the one handled by unwashed hands, the
one handled by washed hands, or the not handled potato. |
| Lunchtime Favorites |
Students create Venn diagrams to help them compare
and contrast information about the foods they eat. |
| Tomatoes to Ketchup. Chickens to Omelettes |
Students sort types of processed foods into groups
based on the raw food source. They create Venn diagrams for processed
foods made from more than one raw food. |
| 1.3.2 - Read and interpret tally charts and picture
graphs as sources of information |

| 1.3.3 - Sort objects by common attribute |
Seed Surprises |
By sorting and planting seeds, students discover
seeds come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, as well as
produce plants. |

Fruits and Vegetables |
Students identify and compare fruits and other
edible plant parts through a fast-paced game. The students compare
and contrast similarities and differences between fruits and other
edible plant parts. |

Students observe and collect items on the school
ground, choose their own special place, and work with school groundkeepers
to be respectful caretakers of their outdoor environment. The students
group the found objects according to various categories. |
