Home Internet Survey

Using home internet data, students explore the complete survey process including the selection of appropriate questions to gather data as well as the analysis and display of data.

Teacher notes

• Students select a question that will provide appropriate data for a given topic. Responses for 500 interviews are then generated and displayed in a dynamic, sortable table. Students manipulate the table to determine the correct answers to some interpretive questions.
• Students select an appropriate display format to represent the data: histogram, bar chart or pie chart then answer interpretive questions based on the graph.
• Includes a printable worksheet for students to complete an article based on the survey results.
