Instructional Ideas
- Ask each group to define a different question to analyze, preferably with each using a different sensor
Classroom Considerations
- Requires specific TI technology sensors to complete the explorations
- Learns should be familiar with different environmental measurements such as humidity, pressure, temperature, etc.
Pros
- Adds relevance to mathematical practices
- Provides important background information for both students and teachers
Cons
- None
