Choose from a variety of Afterschool Adventures covering multiple subject areas. Each adventure includes a detailed plan, videos, learning games, and book suggestions.

In this simulation of a doctor's office, students play the roles of physician, nurse, patients, and time-keeper, with the objective to improve the patient waiting time. They collect and graph data as part of their analysis. This serves as a hands-on example of using engineering principles and engineering design approaches (such as models and simulations) to research, analyze, test and improve processes.

Students use their senses to describe what the weather is doing and predict what it might do next. After gaining a basic understanding of weather patterns, students act as state park engineers and design/build "backyard weather stations" to gather data to make actual weather forecasts.

Students love graphing data that they "own". In this plan, the class will select a type of graph and create it using a class survey frequency table. Included in this lesson are videos of the class engaged in the lesson and samples of graphs that students created.

Students continue to build their graphing skills. They experience a real world application of graphing by organizing survey results.

Students review how to make bar graphs, line plots, and pictographs by tallying the contents of snack mix and building graphs to show their data.

Students use climate data to create a key, plot data points, and interpolate data.

Multiplication sounds cool to second graders, but we have to know what it is first. Creating and counting sets is one way to get there.

Next week marks the start of our Skiing and Snowboarding program at the Waitsfield School. Today the students will find out what each classmate would prefer to do.

Understanding how to interpret data by its shape, spread, and center helps students to understand statistics.

This article provides a brief discussion of the importance of teaching students to analyze data and representations of data as well as two resources that can help teachers implement these strategies into their instruction.

How do companies collect and use data about you? Every time we go online, we're giving away information about ourselves. But just how much data are companies collecting from us? Hint: It's probably a lot more than we realize. Show your students these three tips on how to limit the data that companies collect. Approximately 45 mins.

LESSON OBJECTIVES: Explain why information about them and their behaviors is valuable to companies. Analyze how certain types of data are used by companies. Learn three strategies to limit individual data collection by companies.

Describe a bivariate relationship's linearity, strength, and direction. In other words, plotting things that take two variables into consideration and trying to see whether there's a pattern with how they relate.

Khan Academy learning modules include a Community space where users can ask questions and seek help from community members. Educators should consult with their Technology administrators to determine the use of Khan Academy learning modules in their classroom. Please review materials from external sites before sharing with students.

Create, promote, and manage an online business using digital tools. Time to complete: 6-9 hours

Eliminate data silos and explore data planning tools while promoting diversity of perspectives and encouraging collaboration. Teachers will examine collaborative structures that foster a healthy culture around data, data collection and the presentation of data to stakeholders. Teachers will define what a collaborative data culture looks like in their classrooms and in their schools.

Approximate time to complete this course is 3 hours. A micro-credential is available from Digital Promise upon completion.

This resource provides both long term and current national employment information and statistics.

This PDF document from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contains detailed information about pertussis from several different angles. Information is provided on the clinical features, the complications, the incidence and the transmission of pertussis.

Students will collect data from a Play Lab project and visualize it using different graphs in this exploratory lesson. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.

In this context-setting lesson, students will run and collect data from a simple simulation in Sprite Lab. After running the simulation multiple times, students will have an opportunity to predict how changing a variable in the simulation might impact the outcome and test that hypothesis. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.

This lesson combines skill-building around events with a mini-project where students get to build their own computer simulation in Sprite Lab. Students will study the simulation to understand how quickly a virus can spread and what can be done to slow it down. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
