Predicting Metabolic Rates of Astronauts
Activity Overview
In this lesson, students will visually estimate correlation.
Objectives
In this lesson, students will:
- visually estimate correlations
- adjust weight in a weighted average to visually determine a curve of best fit for estimating metabolic rates
- find the sum of the squares of the difference between student estimates and NASA estimates of metabolic rates
- use the sums of squares to determine which students' estimates are closest to NASA's estimates
