Sounds like an interesting project.

As much as possible I suggest using
CONTINUOUS RESPONSE (DEPENDENT) VARIABLES,
and teach your cherubs to use Multiple Regression/ Linear Models to get the most "bang
for the buck"-- Controlling for measurable "Uncontrollable Attributes", investigating possible interactions,

While it is easy to teach high school students to use Regression/Linear Models (with computer access), you may need to
"do it your self" since the AP Statistics objectives may never
"give our cherubs the power they deserve" by teaching them to
apply the combined power of Multiple Regression/Linear Models
and Computers in research.

Subject: [ap-stat] school survey
> A couple of faculty at our school just had students complete a survey on
> stress and they then approached me about having my AP stats class look at
> the data. The survey is organized with a series of 27 questions taken
from
> other stress surveys given to teens and published in psych journals. The
> students are asked to circle one,two,three,four,five for each of the
> questions. One as the lowest...five as highest for each question.
>
> So are the students responses to these questions, the numbers that they
> circle, categorical or quantitative data. My students think categorical,
> the folks who put the survey together think quantitative...
