Student Survey Questions: Middle School Edition

Surveys are a great way for students to practice collecting data and then making sense of that data by create a graph to display the data and finding the measures of central tendency. Here is a list of survey questions that are appropriate and engaging for middle school students. Please share any ideas you have for survey questions and data displays and analysis in the comments!

Here is a link to the document I created for this project. The survey questions below are included in the document for student to select from or get examples in order to write their own survey question.
