Introduction
Purpose
This resource is a teacher guide for a data science project designed to extend student learning beyond the AP Statistics course. The guide supports high school statistics teachers in planning and facilitating a data science project that builds on students’ prior statistics experience and does not assume prior coursework in programming or data science.
It explains the structure of the project, the dataset used, and the types of analyses students are expected to pursue. The project is intended for students who have completed AP Statistics.
Data Science Tools
This project uses R with the coursekata package (CourseKata Team 2024) for both data manipulation and visualization.
