Elementary- Measuring Ourselves

Group Members: Michelle Ross, Alicia Smith, Jenna Myers

This module was created to have students, in this instance, college students, take measurements and then record them using a data collection/analyis tool.

We were asked to measure out height,wingspan and foot length. Then we had to use InspireData to record the measurements and create a spreadsheet and then scatterplot.

The role that I played in this was helping to get the measurements of our wingspan, height, and foot length.

My work:

As height increases as the wingspan increases. I could tell from the graph because of the plots on the graph, the height increases as the wingspan did. Height increases as the foot length increases. I could tell from the graph becuase the point on the graph increased.

What I thought:

I thought that this activity was helpful to know. I think students would find this interesting because they most likely do not know what their wingspan is. Students in elementary school would really enjoy this because they most likely don't know this information about themself. If I were a teacher I would also like this because it is interesting to know this information. What I didn't like about this activity if I were a student would be that it was hard to measure and get the exact measurement. If I were a teacher I didn't like that the group was only 3 people was it was hard to compare each students infromation. The most surprising part of this activity was that I found out my height and I though I was shorter!
