U9L3 Activity Guide

This activity guide instructs students to analyze datasets on female state legislators and women running for elected office. Students are asked to filter the datasets by year and state, then create charts and answer questions. Specifically, they will chart the percentage of female legislators by year and state, compare values from the year they were born to 2019, and identify states that had women run for or win primary races for governor. The goal is to have students practice working with datasets and charts to draw conclusions about trends in female representation over time and across states.
