DPS (DP subject guide), SG (Allott's study guide), WB (Senior Biology workbook), Tig (DP bio course companion)

 

date day 1 2 3 4
Aug 8-15 SL

Needed in advance

  1. data set of all DP biology grades (exams & IA)

Learning Process

  1. Review new GSIS weekly schedule (esp. extra hours)
  2. Introduce subject guide (download above)
  3. "teaching" vs "learning;" ie. reading & student led discussion
  4. Study DP bio data from last exams
  5. Calculate with Ti84
    1. mean
    2. range
    3. sd
  6. Present students with hard copies of CE checklist
Assignment
  • Students draw conclusions from DP data (CE)

DATA

Goals:  recognize, calculate and use - normal distribution, mean, variability, standard deviation

Process:  Use DP test data to determine these values

Product: Students produce a spreadsheet and a worksheet with these values calculated: A_meangrades_name

t-test; CE

Goals:  Connect processed data to drawing conclusions about information

Process:  View Taylor's statistics presentation.

Product: Students produce unique Google Doc (or Excel) in which they graph hummingbird data (from Taylor's presentation; above.)

 

Later: Presentation on t-test

t-test; CE

Goal: complete first CE for wk2; dy1

Process: "null hypothesis" based on hummingbird presentation.

Use data from hummingbird "practical" to write a CE.

 

Lead students through CE writing
