Data Informed Prediction


Paragraph Science is finding patterns in nature and then using those patterns to

accurately predict the future. For instance, one pattern in nature that nearly everyone has discovered is that objects on earth, when unsupported, fall. We have named this pattern gravity. And we can predict that tomorrow if you were to hold up a marker then let it go, that marker would fall to the floor. Now scientists and engineers have discovered many patterns and have gone as far as creating a device, from materials found in the earth’s crust, that if tomorrow you touch in a certain way and then talk towards it, a loved one can hear your voice miles away! We, of course, call this amazing combination of stuff from the ground a cell phone.

Desmos Graph1) Add labels and units to both axis. Use the

“Graph Settings” icon

2) You MAY change the values for the height and width uncertainties to match your group’s data if they don’t match up.


Board MeetingWhat is the variable and units on the x- axis?What is the variable and units on the y-axis?Do all of the boards have the same scaling? What is the general shape (in words) of the graph?

What was YOUR Equation for this shape?

What does the constant (a-value) mean about the data?

For the same text, if you double the width of the text, then the height will

decrease by half.

Discovery yet another pattern in nature.

Be able to verbally, mathematically, visually, and graphically articulate our third pattern.

Critical Thinking QuestionsCan you write it out?

1. At a high school level clearly explain why in science we prefer a data-informed decision over a wild-guess:

2. At a high school level clearly explain why is it useful for people to find patterns in nature?

3. What does it mean to use evidence-based reasoning?

Our Path through through this Learning Target

Inquiry & Patterns


ExtensionYou have 90 minutes to produce a beautiful

graph that accurately predicts where to place this target so that a ball launch horizontally off this ramp will hit the bulls-eye.

The graph, additionally needs to have your interpolation set to 459 cm and reveal your data informed prediction, with this visible copy and paste the graph into Word with all the names of group and email it to me.


By the End of Class You Should…Content Objective

Language Objective

Understand how both the information and way you communicate the information impact how person reacts to the information.

Create an impactful visual display of information.
