Statistical vs. Non-Statistical Questions – Grade 6

Statistical vs. Non-Statistical Questions – Grade 6
Math, Statistics, Common Core, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities

This activity is designed to target Common Core State Standards 6th Grade Math Statistics 6.SP.A.1 It is a great opener for a unit on statistics and probability as it gets your students thinking about what statistics really are! Students are taught what a statistical question is: a question that has numerical answers that vary. They are shown ways to collect data for statistical questions: survey, using previously collected data such as a census, observations, or measuring. Next, 8 questions are included. Students need to identify if they are statistical questions or not. If they are, students think of how the data might be collected. If they are not, students explain what aspects of a statistical question are missing. Finally, students write 4 questions of their own (one should not be a statistical question) and they trade with a friend to see if they can identify the odd one out. This product would be a great warm-up before my Create Dot Plots and Histograms assignment, as students will need to generate a statistical question for that project. Grades to Use With: This product is designed to target 6th Grade Math Common Core State Standards for Statistics and Probability. However, it can also be used for enrichment in grade 5 classes, or for review in grades 7 and 8.

This middle school science lesson introduces the essential needs that humans (astronauts) must meet in order to survive while exploring in the extreme environment of outer space: •Oxygen •Water •Food •Waste Removal •Temperature •Light •Pressure How to Use: One need (oxygen) is comprehensively explained as an example to show your students. You can assign the other six needs as you see fit: Students can research one or two individually or in small groups and share the information with the class (a jigsaw activity), or they can complete the whole assignment independently. This is also a great way to help your students practice using focused search terms on the internet. You can do a quick mini-lesson on an interactive whiteboard, showing them how you would search for one of the items before letting them use technology to do research themselves. Student Instructions: Humans have several needs that must be met to survive in any extreme environment on Earth or in space. We need to have oxygen to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, a way to store or remove waste, a certain temperature to keep our body safe, some light (but protection from too much direct sunlight), and the correct pressure so our organs don’t collapse or explode. We use different kinds of technology to meet all of these needs in space. You will research how humans survive in space. Find specific answers, draw diagrams , and be ready to share what you have learned with your classmates. The first need is completed for you below. Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed for middle school students in grades 6-9 who are studying extreme environments and/or space exploration in science or earth science class.
