Activity 1: Lay of the land

In groups of 4, create a survey. Questions should be specific, measurable, and have something interesting (don’t ask people only their height please).

The only guideline is that you need to end up storing data in a Google Sheet. Record however you want initially.

Please assemble the Google Sheet before coming to class on the 25th. This is essential to tomorrow’s class, so if you’ve not done that then you’ll be at a disadvantage.

FAQs

On you’ve done that:
