Choose a Topic: Pick something you're interested in, like video games, sports, or music. 1. Choose a Topic: Pick something you're interested in, like video games, sports, or music 2. Identify Variables: Think about two things related to your topic that might affect each other, like hours spent studying and test scores. 3. Create Questions: Come up with two questions about how those two things might be connected. For example, "Does studying more lead to higher test scores?" and "Do people who study less get lower test scores?" 4. Add an Extra Question: Don't forget to ask for the participant's name so you know who answered. 5. Make a Survey: Use an online survey tool like Google Forms or survey monkey to ask your questions. 6. Share the Survey: Put the survey link on your class "discussion" board on Navbar so your classmates can answer it. Each student needs to answer at least 10 surveys. To have more data, you also can ask your friends from other classes and your family members. 7. Make a Scatter Plot: After collecting responses, use the data to make a scatter plot, using Desmos or google sheet. 8. Analyze the Correlation: Look at your scatter plot to see if there's a pattern. Is it a positive or negative correlation and is it strong or weak? Write a short paragraph saying what you think the relationship between the two variables is. 9. Draw the Line of Best Fit: Draw a line on your scatter plot that fits the data points as closely as possible. 10. Find the Slope: Calculate the slope of your line using the data points. Show your work so your teacher knows how you got your answer. 11. Write the Equation: Use the slope and a point from your data to write an equation for the line. You are not allowed to use the online generated equation. It must be done by you and all calculations must be provided. 12. List Participants: Make a list of everyone who took your survey at the end of your work. 13. Application - what can I do with this?: Think of at least one thing that you can do with the information you've gathered. Think about how it may be of use to your classmates, school, and/or greater community. Can you think of any products and/or initiatives that you can start based on your data? 14. Budget: Say that you've been given some funding of $500 to start up the product(s)/initiative(s) you thought of in #12. Create a budget that outlines some of the things you can use this $500 on. You may use this budget template to help you. Explain how you came up with your budget. Make sure your total expenses don't exceed $500! How would you change your budget if you've been given an extra $200? 15. Put all of the above items together and submit your work
