Description

Middle school data graphing activity for students to learn about their own impact on air pollution. The activity involves tracking their family car for a week, with privacy measures in place, recording their trips and approximate mileage.

Note: If tracking the family car is not feasible for your population, I have included realistic data to be used instead. They then classify the trips into 3 categories; necessary, luxury or semiluxury.

Using this data, they do multiple graphing activities to visualize their habits and spark a discussion about conservation in their own lives. They will break the information down into bar and pie graphs with daily averages and weekly averages. There is an assumption that your students have a basic knowledge of either Excel, Numbers or the graphing features on Keynote, so that they can enter the data into a spreadsheet to make the charts.

Included in this resource:

  • Teacher Notes
  • Categories of Types of Car Trips
  • Data Chart(Private)
  • Sample Data Chart for any student to use
  • Student Directions
  • Graph #1 Example and Directions “Total Miles Per Category Per Day” BAR GRAPH
  • Graph #2 and #3 Example and Directions “Total Amount of Miles Per Type for One Week” BAR AND PIE GRAPHS
  • Graph #4 Example and Directions “Total Trips Per Day” BAR GRAPH
  • Graph #6 Example and Directions “ Total Amount of Trips Per Type in One Week” BAR AND PIE GRAPHS
  • Extension/ Extra Credit

NGSSHS-ESS3-2
Evaluate competing design solutions for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources based on cost-benefit ratios. Emphasis is on the conservation, recycling, and reuse of resources (such as minerals and metals) where possible, and on minimizing impacts where it is not. Examples include developing best practices for agricultural soil use, mining (for coal, tar sands, and oil shales), and pumping (for petroleum and natural gas). Science knowledge indicates what can happen in natural systems—not what should happen.
NGSSMS-ESS3-3
Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Examples of the design process include examining human environmental impacts, assessing the kinds of solutions that are feasible, and designing and evaluating solutions that could reduce that impact. Examples of human impacts can include water usage (such as the withdrawal of water from streams and aquifers or the construction of dams and levees), land usage (such as urban development, agriculture, or the removal of wetlands), and pollution (such as of the air, water, or land).
