*This is a collection of materials developed for an 8th grade (secondary education) science lesson, based off the primary source material **Record of passing vessels at the South Haven light-station** log. Additional material based off this lighthouse log are also housed on OSF:* - *[A 3rd grade (primary education) interdisciplinary lesson][1]* - *[An undergraduate (postsecondary education) live demonstration workshop][2]* --- Lesson materials in this collection include: - [Secondary_DataLiteracy_Lesson.pdf][3], a lesson template providing teachers with guidance on how the lesson integrates into the curriculum and the state academic standards, background preparation required to run the lesson, as well as lesson purpose and structure. - Secondary_DataLiteracy_Slides (in [.pdf][4] and [.pptx][5] formats). These slides are used in conjunction with the script within the lesson template and provide teachers with an example of how the lesson can be run and a template that they can modify to better serve their needs. - [Secondary_DataLiteracy_Handout.pdf][6], provides students a condensed version of historical and contemporary weather data for a tech-free hands-on analysis activity. - [Secondary_DataLiteracy_Worksheet.pdf][7], which provides students a way to record their thoughts and findings during the lesson. It also provides teachers a way to assess participation and if lesson objectives were met. This worksheet can be used as a template that teachers can modify to better serve their needs. - [Secondary_DataLiteracy_Script.pdf][8], which provides teachers an example of how the lesson can be run and what discussions can be facilitated. This script can be used as a template that teachers can modify to better serve their needs. This lesson is based on the journal *Record of passing vessels at the South Haven light-station*, which was kept from 1878 to 1882. The original scanned primary source can be found in [Western Michigan University's online collection][9]. The dataset created based on this journal (the basis of the condensed historical weather data) can be found within [Zenodo][10]. Condensed contemporary weather data was created using the website [WeatherSpark][11]. Materials were created in collaboration with the Content Team at [Michigan Memories][12].
