The Assignment

You are going to design your own data collection activity to investigate if there is a relationship between two quantitative variables
===Step 1: Think of two pairs of quantitative variables whose relationship you might be interested in studying. (Remember that a quantitative variable is any characteristic of a person or object that can assume a range of numerical values) Be very specific in describing these variables; identify the observational units as well as the variables. These need to be things that you can physically measure, not get a list of data that someone else collected.===

And some of the more memorable ones from students:

 * ===How long it takes x numbers of chocolate chips to melt //link //.===
 * ===How many days past the full moon vs number of student incidents in a classroom //link //===
 * ===Throwing Things: link===

===Your final published article will involve creating and performing your own experiment. It must involve measurable //quantitative bivariate // data with some EXPECTED relationship. You should have at least 30 data pairs (only with permission may you have less). You must MEASURE THE DATA YOURSELF. In other words, you may not get it from a book, the Internet, a printed list, or by asking someone else, etc. Try NOT to pick a “perfect” scientific relationship.===
