 * 3.** **Research and Information Fluency** d. process data and report results.
 * 6.** **Technology Operations and Concepts** b. select and use applications effectively and productively.

Introduction/Problem:
TSW come up with their own question and 5 to 6 choices to survey several other students in different classes. TSW take the information gathered and make a bar graph and a pictograph. From there the students will predict the outcomes of the whole grade level for that questions based on the information gathered.

Procedures:
1. The students will break into groups of 3. The teacher will either make the groups or allow the students to chose. 2. Students will access Data Gathering Sheet and print it. 3. Students will begin to fill out. 4. Students will go to a certain classroom in a grade level and ask their question. One student will record the information that the others students are counting. 5. Students will take information back and input information into a spreadsheet and than use the chart button to make a bar graph. SpreadSheet Click on your group name/ number to start to input information. 6. Students will than take the information and create a picture graph using the Bars of Stuff gadget in the spreadsheet. 7. Students will print out table and charts. Turn in to teacher.
 * Teacher may have to refresh students on how to input a chart and a gadget or go to Chart/ Gadget Help (coming soon).

It is up to the teacher on assignment due date because of different variable such as amount of computer time, when to go survey other classes, etc. I usually have the assignment last a week.
