Description
Learners will work to collect their own data from something they are interested in. They will then create a scatter plot using Desmos.com and analyze the information they collected. The analysis includes drawing their own trend line, finding the equation of that trend line, and predicting 3 values outside their original data collection.
There are detailed directions with screenshots included along with a Google Slides template that can be shared with learners to help them organize their work.
I have included an example that a former learner created. Please note that the directions and template have changed slightly since then.

CCSS8.SP.A.1
Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.
CCSS8.SP.A.2
Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
CCSS8.SP.A.3
Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.
