Lesson 3
Hypothetical World Cup based on Data Collected
Today we are going to find
out who wins your World Cup. In your pairs you will recreate each match using
the data you have collected in the last class to decide who wins. Each country
will compete against each other based on Population size, Area and Highest
point. In a match the highest will score a goal in each of the three categories
– population, area and highest point.
For
example –
Population
- 82,422,299
v 4,075,261
Area - 357,021 v 51,100
Highest Point - 2,963 v 3,810
Data for the
matches has been put together for all 32 countries from the CIA World Fact Book
and you can get by clicking here on Worksheet
4.
Click here for
the World Cup excel
spreadsheet.
Fill out the
scores and it will automatically sort the information for you into results and
group winners etc.
For homework you
will write a report on who won your World Cup Final. Is population size country
size and geography important deciding who will win the World Cup? What other
factors are important in deciding if a country is successful at sport?
