Who's here? Question: Who are the people in our neighborhood? Who is in this class, how are they alike and different? Task: Working in small groups, students create several questionaires for the class to complete, leading to several databases using Tabletop. Create a series of stack plots and Venn loop plots to display the data. Analysis: What can we tell about each other? What surprised you? What else do you wish you knew? Pumpkins 'n seeds Question: Is there a relationship between the size of a pumpkin (apple, gourd, orange, grapefruit, pomagranet...) and the number of seeds it contains? What do you think and why? Task: Estimate,measure, and record the the size, weight, and number of seeds of a given fruit or vegetable. Create a Tabletop database. Create a set of stack plots and Venn plots to show the results. Analysis: Report and attempt to explain the results. Please email me with your ideas and I'll post them here. Thanks!
