The early bird catches the worm.

I want you to keep track of the work that you are doing as you do it! Tell me how you decided on a question, how you decided the way you were going to collect your data, what changes you make along the way, and represent your data so that the class can analyze it too. Then I will need you to write a formal analysis of your data, including what is important about the data and what it means to you. You should also make recommendations to parents who are having a hard time deciding when their children need to go to bed.
