Note to Teacher: Here is something fun my class loved to do.

Purchase chocolate chips, peanut chips, baking M&Ms, butterscotch chips, & white chocolate chips. Place a few of each kind in a Ziploc bag. Make enough baggies for each student in your class. Instruct the class to sort and graph the cookie goodies. When they have made their graph, have them team up with a partner to work on the data page. Discuss findings as a group. I like to see who had the most of each kind of chip in my class or who had the least. -Alternative if you dont mind cooking and a mess you could try this idea. I did it once and the students loved it so much. Take a cup of each kind of chip and the M&Ms and mix it with your favorite cookie dough recipe. Now make two cookies (one for picking apart and one for eating) for each student. Tell the class you would like them to dissect their cookie and pick out all the goodies. When they are done dissecting, have them work on the graph and the data sheet.
