What they’re used for, their limitations, and the conclusions that can be drawn from the data they present. Every Wednesday, students will be presented with a new graph or data table. After studying the model, they will ask clarifying questions draw conclusions from the data, including analyzing relationships between variables determine the purpose of the data infer limitations of the data (bias, sample size, etc.)   Topics range from human impact on the environment to physics. The purpose of these activities is not to have a full understanding of every topic presented, but rather to see what students can understand using the data presented. The questions that accompany the data are designed to be thought provoking and require students to predict, draw conclusions, and think critically about the data being presented.   Who is this science warm ups data analysis resource for?
