Classroom use

Run the editable deck first, or assign the free interactive Data Decision Challenge simulation at osmialearning.com. Then choose the worksheet or visual-notes format that matches your instruction. Students use a multi-step decision routine to compare datasets, flag a data-quality problem, weigh competing explanations, and support a final recommendation with evidence. The pack is ready for offline teaching and works well for grades 7–12 science, including biology, environmental science, chemistry, and scientific-practices units. Single-teacher license. © Osmia LLC.
