Survey Teaching Scenarios

Scenario	Description
1	Students in seventh-grade mathematics are working on graphing data. The teacher has student pairs measure their pulse each minute for 10 minutes while one student jogs in place.
2	Sixth-grade students are studying a unit on earthquakes. The teacher asks students to find the difference between two historical earthquakes using a table involving magnitudes according to the Richter scale.
3	A fourth-grade class is doing a project on dinosaurs. A group of students makes a chart that compares the sizes of the five different dinosaurs showing their metric heights and weights.
4	Students are investigating ocean floor depths using data from sonar equipment. They are given the equation: D = ½T x V, where D = depth in m, T = time in s, V = the speed of sound in water (1534 m/s). Students are then asked to compute ocean floor depths given the time required for sound to be sent and return to an echo sounder.
5	During a unit on the solar system, the teacher asks the students to create a scale model that shows the relative size and distance between the Earth and two other planets.
6	Eighth-grade students are investigating crystal formation as the liquid in different solutions evaporates. Students are asked to observe and describe various characteristics of the crystals formed when the rates
