In this activity, students collect data. To do this, give the students an amount of time to put a letter in each square of grid paper using their right hand. Then, let them do the same thing with their left hand. The letters are counted and the results are recorded and put in a table. The students then graph and analyze the data. This activity can be done by hand or the students can use a spreadsheet to record and graph the data. This activity allows every student to participate. It demonstrates how to collect data and learn from the data collected.
