FUN DATA! "Pencil Data BUNDLE" {4 Data & Graphing Activities}

This BUNDLE of four FUN DATA! activities, in which students collect, represent, and interpret data in fun ways, all use pencils as the basis for the data. The bundle includes these four activities:

• FUN DATA! "Pencil Bouncers"
• FUN DATA! "Pencil Measurers"
• FUN DATA! "Pencil Rollers"
• FUN DATA! "Pencil Rampers"

In "Pencil Bouncers," students work with partners to bounce a pencil off the floor from different heights. In "Pencil Measurers," students work with partners to collect data on the pencils their classmates are using. In "Pencil Rollers," students work with partners to flick a pencil across their desk, rolling it as close to the edge as possible without dropping off. In "Pencil Rampers," students work with partners to roll a pencil down a ramp set at different angles.

In each activity, students record data in a table, represent the data with a graph, and then answer questions and interpret the data. Who knew some ordinary pencils could lead to all of that?

This resource includes the student activity pages, teacher information, pacing guide, tips, and extensions. It also includes a thorough slideshow introduction that walks students through the main points of the activity. (The slideshow comes in two formats: PowerPoint and Google Slides.)

Additional materials needed are listed here: Pencil Bouncers (unsharpened wooden pencil, meter stick); Pencil Measurers (pencils, ruler with centimeters, markers or crayons); Pencil Rollers (wooden hexagonal-style pencil, desk or table, a bit of tape); Pencil Rampers (pencil, clipboard or hardback book, tape measure or meter stick).
