Resource:

Comparing Calories

Provider:

PBS

Summary:

Students use fast food calorie information to calculate averages and develop box and whisker plots

Description:

"Compare calories in fast food burgers and chicken: In our culture, fast food is one component of what we eat. This activity will help us gain a better understanding of the varying number of calories when we eat fast food. We will also do a comparison of hamburgers and chicken sandwiches from three leading fast-food restaurants: McDonald’s, Burger King, and Hardee’s."
