    I Scream for Ice Cream

    I Scream for Ice Cream

    Overview

    This is a data collection, prediction, and graphing activity using three flavors of ice cream as the subject. 

    It is a ready-made lesson with a Google Slideshow that has all of the activities built into it.

    Data Collection and Graphing

    This would work well as a virtual assignment where each student works on his/her own copy of the slideshow attachment. 

    We are planning an ice cream party for a class of 18 students. We will have individual cups of Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry ice cream.

    Your job is to predict what the most popular flavor will be.

    You will then survey the 18 students and graph the results

    Finally, compare your prediction to the data you collected to judge how you did.
