The New York Time's maintains The Learning Network, which contains news content that fits well into a variety of classrooms teaching a variety of topics.
Recently, they shared a good stats example. They created curves illustrating global climate change over time. The top graph illustrates a normal curve, with normal temperature as the modal value. But as we shift forward in time, hot days become modal and the curves no longer overlap. Sort of like the classic illustration of what a small to medium effect size looks like in terms of distribution overlap.
This graph is part of the NYT's "What's going on in this graph?" series, which are created and shared in partnership with the American Statistical Association.
