Students in a 3rd grade science class will measure and record the minimum and maximum temperatures for the next 7 days. They will input this data into an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the maximum, minimum, and average temperatures. Finally, they will write a short reflection in a text box describing what they learned from the weather data analysis project.

Grade Level: 3rd Grade Subject: Science Curriculum Goal: 3.S.1.3.1 Measure changes that occur. Learning Objectives: 3.S.1.3.2 Measure in both U.S. Customary and International System of Measurement (metric system) units. Equipment Needed/Materials: Computer Internet access Excel program Links to tutorials and information websites Lesson Summary: Look at the forecast for the next 7 days and record the minimum and maximum for the next 7 days. Put this information in excel and then use excel to calculate the max, min, and average. Insert a text box to describe what you learned from this project.
Integration of Technology:
They will use excel to exam data points to find max, min, and averages within a data set.
