Analyzing Data Activity Series
This series of three activities is designed to help students build their skills in NGSS Practice 4: Analyzing and Interpreting Data.

In the final activity, students analyze a data set, including making a graph and

Experience
Hi! My name is Megan O'Donovan.
I have taught high school science for two years. I've taught a little bit of everything -- biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, engineering, you name it!
Teaching style
I do my best to teach the way the Next Generation Science Standards were intended: with a phenomenon anchoring every unit, and as much student-led inquiry as possible. For any concept, I try to avoid using lectures or textbook readings, and instead try to think of a way students could figure out the idea themselves from data or observations.
My own education history
I attended K-12 school in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I completed my undergraduate education at Michigan State University, getting Bachelor's degrees in Genetics and Psychology before switching to teaching. I did my student teaching in the Lansing, MI area and am certified in Biology and Integrated Science. I am now working on a Master's degree in Teaching and Curriculum, and am applying for doctoral programs for next fall.
