Immerse your students in a fun and interactive data science project as you learn about Kiki and her family in the J pod.

Paddle your way into Kiki’s world through a self-paced, online Excel activity that introduces beginning concepts for data-driven research using Wolfram data types.

The activities are designed for 11-14 year olds and created for teachers by teachers! Your students can swim with Kiki using Hololens, explore data in a self-paced Excel workbook, and reflect on their experiences using Flipgrid.

Lesson highlights:
 ♦ Access information in Excel using data types and data cards.
♦ Compare and contrast taxonomic data to explore differences and similarities of organisms.
♦ Use data cards to access geographic data related to orca sighting locations.
♦ Document student learning in Flipgrid and through a reflection journal.
