Description
This 30 minute large group activity is designed to help learners think about how data science principles and practices connect with undergraduate biology education. It introduces the idea of exploratory data analysis by having participants engage with CODAP - Common Online Data Analysis Platform from the Concord Consortium. The activity can be done in small groups around a single laptop. Groups work with data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and use exploratory data analysis to orient to the dataset and identify some patterns that they find interesting. Then they generate a few questions and try to build a visualization to address them. These products can easily be saved and shared as editable CODAP instances.
There is a discussion forum where you are encouraged to ask questions, share ideas for how to use these materials and make them better.
