Because data patterns and trends are not always obvious, scientists use a range of tools-including tabulation, graphical interpretation, visualization, and statistical analysis to make sense of the information. Teaching students to do this can be challenging, but it's a critical part of the NYSSLS standards and necessary for students to truly engage in scientific investigations.

In this completely asynchronous course, participants will explore what data analysis and interpretation looks like across different grade levels and disciplines and how it connects to specific NYSSLS standards. Using a variety of online resources, such as NSTA, The Wonder of Science, HHMI, and Data Nuggets, participants will leave with the confidence and tools to improve their students' data literacy.
