Description
In this engaging, hands-on activity, students investigate why Earth is known as the Blue Planet by collecting and analyzing data in a fun, interactive way. Using a simple sampling method, students estimate how much of Earth’s surface is covered by water while building foundational skills in sampling, sample size, estimation, and data analysis.
As students compare results and reflect on their findings, they discover that most of Earth’s surface is covered by water and explore why this matters for life on our planet. This activity sparks curiosity, encourages collaboration, and helps students connect math and science concepts through active learning.
