Great idea. I’ve modified this project and we are doing it in my Geometry and Algebra 2 classes now. The modifications are that 1.) It is a group project, so everyone records data on the same variable and one person (Data Manager) from the group is responsible for updating the information to a google docs spreadsheet on a weekly basis. (The Quality Control person collects the data from the different members weekly and makes sure that only the proper data is submitted to the Data Manager. Also, they have the first week to change what they are tracking if they find it to difficult to track. The idea is no one has homework on Thursday/Friday if all the groups are turning in data in a timely fashion.

Tim, thanks for the resources. I’d heard of the first but not the second two.

I assume you came from Christian Long’s think:lab. His last post said I needed some fix-it advice on this project, which is true. I hope you’ll swing back by later this week for my reflections on this project, which, at various times was kind of awful, and could use your input.
