Collecting and Analyzing Data

Get students collecting and analyzing data without leaving the classroom with this hands-on science activity! Science involves asking questions, collecting data, and analyzing the data to form conclusions. In this activity, students will pose questions, and then collect data from their classmates in response. Students will then analyze the data they collect to draw conclusions about trends and preferences in their class.

Featuring a completed example and a built-in template for students to record their findings, this engaging activity is a great way to introduce young scientists to the process of data collection and analysis. Use this worksheet at the beginning of the school year as a get-to-know-you activity for science students or any time of year as a fun and helpful refresher.
