Swish and Spit Box Plots

In this lesson, students are working as researchers for the Swish and Spit Company to create single serve mouthwash containers for travel. Students will create box plots from data sets of lip length and how much liquid can be held comfortably in human mouths. Students will analyze their graphs to answer questions regarding the size of the mouthwash container and how mouthwash it should hold. This activity should be used as a follow-up activity after students have a base knowledge of box plots.
