Module Overview Standards and Learning Objectives Materials Needed Activity Overview Related Activities

Science Standards Physical Science Properties and Changes of Properties of Matter There are more than 100 known elements that combine in a multitude of ways to produce compounds which account for the living and nonliving substances that we encounter.

Math Standards Data Analysis and Probability Select, create, and use appropriate graphical representations of data, including histograms, box plots, and scatterplots.

Objectives Students will understand that elements are the basic building blocks of all things found on Earth and in space. Students will gain facility creating graphs from data they generate.
