 * conversion between metric units; for example, L to mL, and understanding of the significance of thousands and thousandths in the metric system
 * simulation of simple random events
 * calculation and analysis of the stability of a sequence of long run frequencies where the number of trials increases, say from 5 to 10 to 20 to 100
 * interpretation of pie charts and histograms
 * identification of the median for a set of data

The Experiment = Conduct an experiment to see how the temperature of water in a cup cools differently with the amount of water in the cup.

Be careful with hot water!

Create a table with the headings – amount of water (mL), amount of water (L), starting temperature (C), final temperature (degrees C).

Make a graph (either drawn or using [|Create-a-Graph]) to show how the temperature drop is related to the amount of water in the cup.

What does your graph tell you?



=4. The Survey =

Design a survey to ask other students questions where they respond with a number.

Graph your results using Create-a-Graph or ChartGo or Numbers on the iPad

Identify the median, range and the mode of the data. Use excel on the laptop or numbers on the iPad to sort the data.
