(f)Organize and create a presentation (oral, written, multimedia, etc.) of the research findings and conclusions.

Project Ideas for ‘primary data collection’

Primary Data collection and analysis often presents students with a more engaging and hands on approach to Math projects. Although some secondary data collection may provide insight into interesting topics and involve high level, focused information, collecting primary data allows students to be more involved in the process of actual scientific discovery and analysis. If you want to urge your students to consider more primary data collection for your project, consider some of the ideas below. If you have more ideas I’d love to hear about them. Email me at [email protected]

  1. Compare gas prices for the month of April or May for 4 different gas stations in your area (maybe this doesn’t work in small centers), analyze the change in prices factoring at least 4 different possible reasons for the changes.
  2. Collect speed data over lunch hour in your school zone (if you have a radar set up) and analyze the patterns and give 4 factors that may influence the patterns.
  3. Draw sketches and record dates and times along with specific temperature, pressure, etc conditions for the germination of a seed. Give three reasons for the patterns you see and discuss 3 changes in the conditions or seed nature that may affect germination data (beware, start this one early).
  4. Survey your school for hours of homework per day, hours of sleep per night, grade average, extracurricular involvement, etc. Determine what factors make students successful, happy, and fulfilled. Generate conclusions based on the data you’ve collected – be prepared to share with the class.

These are just a few suggestions.
