There is nothing like getting students intersted in a topic and i think using real data that they can actually check out from a project/study is wonderful. This gives weight to so much in science. Previous teacher I worked with would make up data. This is so much better. As I move into the HS curriculum I am hoping to find units that a data project will work. While there are good resources out there, our class list is great, mostly it is for earth science. In our environmental unit we could use data but this is such a small unit and I don't know if I will have the time necessary to increase the time spent.
I will be looking ahead in August as i start planning the first half of the year.
