This unit provides a review of the TIMS laboratory method, a simplified version of the scientific method. Using the context of populations and samples, students explore the relationship between variables. They represent these relationships using tables, graphs, and averages (median and mode). Students solve problems by analyzing data. They use averages, data tables, and graphs to make generalizations and predications about a data set.
