First, we need to know what exactly a Box and Whisker Plot is, and how to make one.

 * Check out [|this resource] to find out.
 * Remember to take notes in your notebook.

Time to practice!

 * Get your textbook and watch [|Professor Burger] demonstrate how to do Example 3 on pg. 696
 * Complete problems #7-10 on pg 697.

Now you know how to make a box and whisker plot.

 * Get the following [|worksheet.]
 * Gather data from your classmates


 * Load the [|Shodor Interactive Box Plot]
 * Be sure to clear the already loaded data
 * Load the data you gathered from your classmates and proceed with the activity.

We are ready to analyze the Weather!

 * Record the Daily HIGH temperature each day (be sure not to accidentally record other data) for April 2010 and 2011.
 * [|April 2010]
 * [|April 2011]
 * Open the Shodor Interactive Box Plot
 * Remember to clear the data already loaded.
 * Enter the data you collected for April 2010 and create a Box and Whisker Plot.
 * Sketch it on your paper- Be sure to include the scale.


 * Enter the data you collected for April 2011 and create a Box and Whisker Plot.
 * Sketch it on your paper BELOW your April 2010 sketch. Try to keep the number line and scale lined up to your previous sketch.

Was April 2010 similar to April 2011?

 * Look at the two Box and Whisker Plots.
 * Were there major differences? Was either month colder or warmer?
 * What other things can you observe from the data?
 * Record your findings and post them to the Discussion Tab on this page.
