Description
This is a research paper that breaks down the topic and methodology into sections. The project is student driven. Student groups decide on a reseach topic that they can actually research but also create a survey to administer to students in the school so that they are collecting their own data.
The booklet begins with students creating survey questions, but you may want to first have them do the intro to the paper and their hypotheses before creating the survey questions.
Science is integrated because students create hypotheses (based on their research) to predict what results they will find once they administer the surveys. Math is integrated because students will analyze their survey results and use statistical methods to describe their data (mean, median, mode, etc..) and create graphs to show their results.
You can use MLA or APA format with this project.

CCSS7.SP.A.1
Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
CCSS7.SP.A.2
Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.
CCSS7.SP.C.5
Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
CCSS7.SP.C.6
Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.
CCSSRI.7.1
Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
