🌎 Conflicting Climate Statistics

Students analyze a recent global event (e.g., climate change impacts or election turnout) presented with multiple conflicting statistics from different news sources. In small groups, they compare two provided data sets using pre-calculated summaries (mean, median, standard deviation, IQR) and discuss why conclusions differ. The class surfaces assumptions about what "average" means and when a normal distribution might or might not be appropriate, generating initial questions for user interviews.
