Getting Started: DataClassroom for Science Fair

Back by popular demand! Another installation of our Getting Started Series.

December 11, 2025 from 7:00pm - 7:45pm ET

This webinar is for all the science fair teachers, research teachers, and to those who give their students the freedom to plan and design their original experiments. In this session, Dr. Nigel Standish will cover some guidelines for refining student project ideas, thinking about analysis before data collection, setting an appropriate scale for an experiment, and of course analyzing data.

Nail the IA and Power the EE: DataClassroom for IB Physics, Biology, Chemistry

January 13, 2026 from 4:15pm - 5:00pm ET

Give your students the tools (and confidence) to move from “raw data” to clear, criterion-aligned analysis. In this hands-on tour, we’ll show how DataClassroom streamlines the full IB workflow—planning, collecting, analyzing, and communicating—so IA and EE investigations in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics hit the mark on Exploration, Analysis, and Evaluation.

• Biology: Build tidy datasets, summarize trials, and add error bars to compare treatments. Run appropriate tests (t-test/ANOVA/χ²)

• Chemistry: Use curve fitting to model relationships—calibration lines, kinetics, and other non-linear patterns.

• Physics: Linearize when needed, and plot uncertainty gradient.
  

  Who should attend: IB Biology, Chemistry, and Physics teachers; IA/EE supervisors; IB DP coordinators supporting data-driven investigations.

Making Sense of Messy Data: A Step-by-Step Guide to Exploration

February 12, 2026 from 7:00pm - 7:45pm ET

Are you working with a dataset that looks promising but don’t know where to start? Join Dr. Nigel Standish as he demonstrates how to clean, visualize, and explore new data using DataClassroom. You’ll learn practical strategies for helping students (and yourself!) turn raw numbers into meaningful insights.

Back by popular demand! Another installation of our Getting Started Series.

October 23, 2025 from 7:00pm - 7:45pm ET

Do you want to use DataClassroom but don’t have class time to learn a new tool? Join our webinar for a beginner's guide to mastering DataClassroom! Dr. Nigel Standish will demonstrate how to get students exploring data in a step-by-step, easy to understand format using the Ready To Teach Lesson Cicada Sex Education. This webinar includes multiple variables, dot plots, regression lines, t-test, and a bonus ANOVA.

Guiding Students to Success with Data in IB Science IAs

September 23, 2025 from 4:15pm - 5:00pm ET

Learn how to help your students confidently work with data in their International Baccalaureate Internal Assessments (IAs). This session will demonstrate how DataClassroom makes it simple for students to collect, analyze, and visualize data—building the statistical skills IB expects while reducing confusion and saving classroom time. Perfect for IB Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Environmental Systems & Societies teachers, this webinar will give you practical tools to support inquiry, strengthen student analysis, and elevate IA results.

Getting Started: Working with Your Own Data in DataClassroom

Back by popular demand! Another installation of our Getting Started series.

August 21, 2025 from 7:00pm - 7:45pm ET

Do you want to use your own data in DataClassroom? Join our webinar for a beginner's guide to mastering DataClassroom! Dr. Nigel Standish will demonstrate how to get students exploring their own data in a step-by-step, easy to understand format. This webinar includes cleaning and formatting data, importing data, and sharing your dataset and analysis with others.
