• Evaluating the appropriateness of the design of an experimental study
• Describing how sample statistics reflect values of population parameters
   

Windspeed vs. Temperature
In this activity, students will create their own anemometer, an instrument used to measure wind speed. Using this tool and the Beaufort Scale, students will measure and record estimated and average wind speeds. As an extension, students can plot and then analyze real-world wind speed data collected by Pathfinder during one of its recent missions

How Sharp is your Memory?
Students will be asked to recall as many items as they can from each set in a certain length of time. Students will collect, organize, and interpret this data through several statistical methods.
