This is a final draft copy of a forthcoming article on data modeling with college students. The article will appear in The Journal of College Science Teaching. JCST is a peer reviewed journal on college teaching in STEM that is published multiple times a year by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). The work published here centers on data modeling activities by over 100 undergraduate students as they struggle to make sense of the use of data in their everyday activities as well as preparation for the possibility of teaching this subject matter to K-12 students in our nation's schools. My colleague and co-author Michele Mann was instrumental in overseeing major portions of this study and in helping out with the analysis of the data and editing of the final manuscript.
