Upcoming Info about STEM Profile Discussions Meet in small groups with Halin and others in her same research group to discuss your individual profiles. Based on Survey you took at the beginning of the program.

Review: What was one thing you learned from this module about: (answer in the chat) Data Collection Systematic & Replicable Data Analysis Visual & Statistical Data Interpretation
Data Collection Activity: Collect Data from one of the following sites. Backyard feeder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIqUka8BOS8 Air Traffic Control: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlHUR1bfgnc&t=0s San Diego Zoo: https://sdzsafaripark.org/cams/elephant-cam (or any other feed you are interested in) Abbey Road (Beatles) https://www.abbeyroad.com/crossing Select your breakout room 10min discuss your methods, 5min collect your data (record anything that you think might be relevant) 5min go around of what you did and observations about the process you made.
Discussion - What did you decide to measure/count/etc? What was your process to get the best data? (what worked well, what didn t) Other than the data you were collecting was there anything that you recorded as possibly disturbing any pattern forming in the data? What kind of think would you have recorded?
Data Analysis Activity Based on the provided excel sheet of data determine the relationship between two of the variables Example: Calories vs Carbs Create a scatter plot of your data Fit an appropriate curve Show equation and R2value Statistical Analysis P-Value gives a measure of significance P < 0.05 is statistically significant R2value give measure of how good a fit to a model is R2<0.3 (none), R2<0.5 (weak), R2<0.7 (moderate), R2>0.7 (strong) -- source
If there are many interpretations, are they all right? all Critique of 6/9 The person who painted it had a specific number in mind. It is part of a larger pattern. Critique of the Critique Nature is not made with an intent by humans. All perspectives are helpful even if the just strengthen your argumentation Model vs Reality
