Transportation

How do we get to school? What are the most used ways? Why do people choose the ways the transportation they do? What influences them? Weather? Season? Time available? Plans after school? Concern for the environment? What's the farthest a student or teacher travels? What's the shortest distance? How long does it take people to get to school?

Do research. Create a survey. Graph the survey and post the image.

Survey

How Do You Get To School On A Nice Day?   

Walk: 6

Bike: 3

Car: 15

Bus: 4

Skateboard: 1

My survey asked people how they got to school on a typical nice day. People made up they're own answers, but it was still limited to five answers. I surveyed 29 people, 18 of which are in my computers class, and the rest in other classes. The results were that over half of the people take cars, a third walk, a fourth to busses and bikes, and the last piece to skateboarding. The range from cars to skateboarding is 14, and I was not surprised much by the results. I think by these results, we could guess that a majority of the seventh grade takes a car.
