This performance task combines a computer science standard with both history and math standards. Students will "discover" an older version of a moden technology currently used. Students will collect data to determine which techonology has been most impactful on society. Students will graph and analyze that data. 

This video tutorial shows an easy way to collect and analyze data with students using Google Forms and Google Sheets.

Unplugged activites to help students realize algorithms are simply patterns that we use in our daily lives. 

Interpret graphs and data collection to create a bar/chart graph in Google Slides.

Data and PredictionsComputer Science Strand: Data and AnalysisData can be useful to make predictions from trends in the data. A trend in the data is the general direction in which something is developing or changing. Based on the direction the data is going, you can make a prediction as to what may happen next. A prediction is when you use data to make an informed guess as to what may happen in the future.

Students will formulate questions that require the acquisition of data. They will collect data and display it in histograms.
