Summary: Schaefffer's et al's activity-based statistics
Comment: I have used this book twice in teaching intro to statistics. The main textbook was Moore's Basic Practice of statistics. I like a hands-on approach to statistics so i chose Schaeffer's collection as a companion to Moore's since it provides some neat projects for students to do. For example, the very first project (getting to know the class) allows you to gather data from class which can be a rich resource for the rest of the semester. Some of the projects are hard to do in class(like a project involving paper frogs and the one with a funnel towards the end), there aren't that many good and short projects on inference, and the book shows its age (it still talks about Bush versus Clinton). But it is the only book of projects suitable for the freshman level, that is why I will be using it again.
