Fun Scatterplot Project: Infectious Diseases

Description

Hello! This fun project helps kids understand the importance of scatterplots and trends in connection to infectious diseases. It is a self-directed project with step by step directions so students know what is expected of them. 4 options are given, allowing students to choose which disease they prefer to focus on. They graph the data, analyze a best fit line, then answer rigorous analysis questions. My students love this project as it sparks interesting conversations about the "scariest" infectious diseases. Data was gathered from the CDC and WHO aligned websites.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSS8.SP.A.1

Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.

CCSS8.SP.A.2

Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.

CCSS8.SP.A.3

Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.
