=Summary=

===Through the (OF)2 project, students can input data on their lifestyles into a unique online youth calculator developed by Zerofootprint.net that has been adapted to recognize different cultural and socio-economic settings, housing, modes of transportation and food consumption. Students discuss how their lifestyle affects climate changes around the world. ===

=CCSS Alignment for Grades 6-12=


 * ===**6.SP.1 **. //Recognize statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers//. Students will recognize statistical questions in the form of the variables that effect CO2 levels. ===
 * ===**7.SP.1. **//Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences //. Students will be provided data from a population sample and draw connections between the sample and the population to determine whether the sample is representative of the population. ===
 * ===**8.SP.4 **. //Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables//. Students will use bivariate categorical data (samples of automobile populations in different geographic areas and CO2 levels for example) and describe their possible association through relative frequency tables. ===
 * ===**S-MD.1 **. //Define a random variable for a quantity of interest by assigning a numerical value to each event in a sample space; graph the corresponding probability distribution using the same graphical displays as for data distributions.// Students will choose a quantity of interest related to data from a community’s CO2 production and will graph the probability distributions of their data using the same graphical displays as their data distributions. ===
