Activity Overview
In this activity, students will count the number of steps required to walk a given distance. Each student will record their data. The students will then create a graph (scatter plot) of their data.
Before the Activity

Students will work in pairs. Each student will begin to walk the line (measuring tape). Student partner will record how many steps the student takes to reach each marked measurement.
