Upper elementary or middle school students will use InspireData to conduct the following experiment. Each team of students (up to six teams) will need to construct a boat out of clay and conduct the experiment and record their data in e-Survey, which will show the compiled data of the class teams. Have each student team plot the class data and use Capture a slide to create a slideshow of 3-4 slides that compares the data. Students can use the Plot Title and Notes to record their thoughts and discoveries. Use the following Sample Data Slideshow as an exemplar for discussion.
