Procedures:
Springboard:
|
Teacher will discuss with
the students what their favorite kind of food is. Teacher will put the girls
into groups and ask them to brainstorm different kinds of foods they could ask
other smart girls about and narrow their foods down to 3 or 5. |
Activities:
|
The groups will go to the
computer lab to start the construction of surveys to give to other SMART
girls. |
|
The girls will estimate
what food they think the other SMART girls will like most and least. |
|
Each group will then be
given copies of the survey they have made. The girls will, with the help of a
teacher, go to other SMART classrooms and have the girls fill out the survey.
|
|
After the surveys have
been completed, the students will return to the room and turn their results
into a completed graph. |
|
When the graphs are
completed the students will make observations regarding the similarities and
differences between the data collected and the estimations they had made about
the SMART girls favorite food. |
Closure:
|
Each group will present
their graphs and findings to the class. They will discuss the results and any
surprises they found. |
