Surveys and Graphing

Students will:

• Be able to create a multiple-choice question in Google Forms.
• Be able to share the link via LMS platform / QR code. 
• Be able to participate in multiple classmate's surveys.
• Be able to create a graph with the results.

Vocabulary Words:

1. LMS: This is a Learning Management System such as Schoology, Google Classroom, Canva, or Haiku. 
2. Prior Math Vocabulary is assumed.

To prepare for this lesson:

• Create Google accounts for students if not a GAFE school.
• Create a discussion within Schoology course (or whatever LMS you are using) for where students should post their survey link. 
• Teacher created how-to videos for students to reference to as to how to create a question, share the link, change the share options, and post the link in Schoology (for students to refer back to if they need). These need to be specific to how the teacher taught the lesson. 
• Videos (teacher created are best):
  • Google Forms How-To
  • Sharing Google Form via QR Code
  • Overview of Google Forms pt. 1 - Set-up 
  • Overview of Google Forms pt.2 - Responses 
  • How to Create a Chart or Graph in Google Sheets

See Accommodations Page and Charts on the 21things4students.net site in the Teacher Resources. 

Directions for this activity:

1. The teacher will introduce graphs to the students. 
    
2. As a whole class, walk students through how to create a one question multiple choice survey in Google Forms. For example: What is is your favorite restaurant? 
   • Panera Bread
   • Five Guys
   • Buffalo Wild Wings
   • Jimmie Johns
   • None of the above
3. Walk students through how to change the share settings on the Google form, copy and paste the link to Schoology discussion. 
    
4. Give students time to take at least 10 surveys from classmates. 
    
5. Teach the students how to export the responses from Google Forms into a Google Sheet. 
    
6. Teach the students how to create a bar graph in Google Sheets using their responses. 

Different options for assessing the students:

• Observations
• Check for understanding
• Students are able to create, share, export, and create a bar graph correctly. This is designed more as a whole class activity (with students individually doing the steps).
