CMS Data Workshop at KU

July 27-28, 2015

Participating teachers will:

Apply classical physics principles to reduce or explain the observations in data investigations.
Identify and describe ways that data are organized for determining any patterns that may exist in the data.
Create, organize and interpret data plots; make claims based on evidence and provide explanations; identify data limitations.
Develop a plan for taking students from their current level of data use to subsequent levels using activities and/or ideas from the workshop.

We will also provide opportunities to engage in critical dialogue among teaching colleagues about what they learn in the workshop.
