Standard 3: Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability
Data Collection, Display, and Interpretation
FLP Lessons
Activity that Addresses this Benchmark
2.3.1 - Sort and classify objects according to their attributes and organize data about the objects; e.g., Venn diagrams, graphs, tables
We're Into Pumpkins
Students put collected data about pumpkins into a graph.
Buzzy, Buzzy Bee
Students create various graphs to display the information about apples "produced" during various growing seasons.
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 creat 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.
2.3.2 - Demonstrate that data can be represented in a variety of ways
We're Into Pumpkins
Students put collected data about pumpkins into a graph.
Buzzy, Buzzy Bee
Students create various graphs to display the information about apples "produced" during various growing seasons.

2.3.3 - Formulate and answer simple questions from data represented by graphs
Tomatoes to Ketchup. Chickens to Omelettes
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.
