Description
Middle school students are too old to still be dealing with data two pieces at a time, by hand. They need to be dealing with it two million pieces at a time, hand in hand with their computer. Data Stories is a gentle introduction to Data Science in eleven lessons, targeted to the middle school years. In combination with the Data Stories Companion App (available separately), the Data Stories book introduces Big Data via geographic data sets (often referred to as GIS data.) Eleven lessons take students all the way from making simple outline maps of the American states to computing species niches based on ecological data freely available on the internet. (f you haven't noticed, both plants and animals are on the move in the 21st century, from areas that are no longer hospitable to new ones that suddenly are.)
