Lesson 1 — Collect Data from Real Questions

Level: Apprentice — roughly Grade 7 / ages 12–13 Duration: 20–25 minutes Format: Web quiz (play right away, no prep needed) Concept: Primary data = data you collect with your own hands — good questions produce usable data

Learning Objective

Kids distinguish primary vs. secondary data, write good survey questions (clear, easy to answer, not leading), and pick the right collection method.

Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)

Have your child design 1 survey question (with options) and actually survey at least 5 family members, tallying the results — this dataset gets reused in lessons 2–4!
