Persuading with Data: Using data bias to your advantage
The activity is designed as a follow-up to my Data Bias activity (posted for free). Student use what they learned about data bias to create data presentations (graphs, charts) that help prove their point. Multiple scenarios are given where students are trying to convince their parents that their grades/behavior aren't bad.
This activity helps students internalize the power of data bias and makes them more likely to look out for this bias in the real world. This makes for a really fun homew

GPS Simulation - Applications of Algebra and Geometry - Aligned with Numb3rs
Are you tired of hearing your students say "When would you ever use this!?" This lesson is a perfect way to silence their complaints!
I originally designed this lesson to be used after watching the episode "Convergence"of the CBS television series Numb3rs. I think every middle/HS teacher should own copies of this series. If you aren't familiar with the show, it is basically a crime show where the characters solve crimes with math. (Similar to CSI) You might be able to download free episodes

Based on OpenSciEd's Metabolic Reactions unit. Students finish their graphs from the villi simulation. They complete a graph on paper and using a spreadsheet, then answer reflection questions. Students should decide that taller villi allow for more food absorption because they have more cells, and more cells mean more "doorways" the food molecules can go through. Most will also decide that M'Kenna's villi are probably short or flat. If they need further evidence they can think about the small in
