Lesson Procedures:
- Teacher creates a google form with one question to survey students. Ex: What month is your birthday?
- Students answer the question on the form.
- Together as a class discuss data recorded.
- Together create an online graph with data collected. Online Bar Graph Maker
- Discuss outcomes/results. Ex: Which month had the most? How many more in June than July? Etc.
*Extension:
- Students can create their own form and survey students.
- Students can create own graph to show data collected.
- Students can survey another classroom/school. Google Hangout/Skype could be used to to discuss findings.
Extension: Students can share their link to their surveys by:
- Teacher creates a form for students to add their survey link and then share the results to the class.
- Students can open their survey on a computer and students can rotate around the room completing the surveys.
- Students could create QR codes with their links and students could access the surveys through the QR codes.
