Death Drug Education Environmental Education Graphs Higher Education Instructional Materials Interpretive Skills Secondary Education Skill Development Social Studies Tables (Data) Units of Study In this self-contained inquiry module, secondary or college level students analyze data to explain the differences in mortality rates in Nevada and Utah. The module is intended to help students: (1) translate and interpret demographic tables and charts; (2) form and test hypotheses to explain demographic pheonomena; (3) identify social, economic, and demographic variables that affect mortality; (4) draw conclusions about the effects of lifestyle on mortality; and (5) design original strategies for changing lifestyles so as to increase life expectancy. Throughout the exercise the teacher is primarily a facilitator. The teacher presents the data sheets of demographic tables and charts to the students one at a time, in sequence from 1 to 10. Students analyze each data sheet. The teacher may stimulate inquiry by asking questions if necessary. Students are also involved in supplementary activities. They write a proposal for legislation, are involved in class debates, and do library research. The November, 1977 issue of the newsletter Interchange which discusses the topic under study is also included. (Author/RM) |
