I'm an EdTech coach (I help science teachers by developing and modeling lessons that utilize technology) and I am creating a lesson to teach excel skills to a group of Jr. High students. I need help developing questions and/or finding data sets. Here are some of my first draft ideas: 1) How many active volcanoes per sq./km in Alaska vs. other states. (research and make a bar graph) 2) How many eruptions happen in Alaska each year (teach averages. 3) Is there a correlation between proximity to the plate boundary and the activeness of Aleutian volcano (get distance in km from Google Earth and years since last eruption) My ideas are so-so. I need some ideas for questions that need data to answer them while also teaching meaningful concepts about volcanos. Any help is appreciated! ---------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE IP ADDRESS: 127.0.0.1 USER AGENT/BROWSER: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.115 Safari/537.36 REFERRING PAGE: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/contact.php
