I used these worksheets with Year 2 and Year 3 classes. Pupils gained experience of using tally marks to collect information and then represent this data in the form of a graph. Depending on pupil abilities, I encouraged them to work individually, with a partner or in a guided group to complete these activities. There are also differentiated versions of some of these activities. The worksheets included are; Bag of cubes – used as an easy introduction to data collection and graphing, it requires pupils to be provided with a bag of mixed cubes to systematically tally according to colour and then complete the prepared graph. Smarties easy – Always popular and creating great enthusiasm as sweets are involved! Two sheets, largely pre-prepared where pupils in pairs or small groups are given boxes (or 2 tubes) of Smarties, to predict what the most and least colour represented will be before collecting data and completing a graph of results. Smarties mid – as above but the data collection grid and graph are in a minimal form requiring pupils to fill in the required details. Smarties top – as above but data collection requires the use and interpretation of tally marks and the graphing sheet is purely a squared grid allowing more able to compile their graph from scratch. Birthdays – Pupils use tally marks to record the birthdays of their peers (this needs to be done systematically and requires organising to avoid missing anyone or counting people twice!). Once collected they use either 5a. Birthdays Graph filled – a prelabelled graph format sheet or 5b. Birthdays Graph to fill – a basic, unlabelled graph format sheet to compile their graphs.

I have fully completed and gone over the Digital Information Technology COMPONENT 2: Collecting, Presenting and Interpreting Data Pearson Set Assignment Jan 2027. This is a great guide to help you complete the new released Jan 2027 paper. Great tool to assist the marking process so you can check and cross reference against the provided answers. Included is a fully completed Excel Spreadsheet with all completed tasks for 2A 2B and 2C as well as a complete ‘how to guide’ on PowerPoint. Additonal slides on the PowerPoint guide for Tables, Sparklines and Line Graphs in the answers section. Also updated the completed Spreadsheet with this included. Fully completed examplar answers for task 3 errors patterns and trends, as well as a guide on responding well to task 1, task 1 is generic and can be used on any PSA, not just the Jan 2027. Fully completed suggested answer Task 1, Task 2ABC, and Task 3 from the current specification. (not to be shared with students). A bonus task to help students with task 2C - this task uses generic data, not the PSA data and can be shared with the students.

Topical Past Papers are an essential tool for any student looking to succeed in their exams. These questions are regular past paper questions, but instead of covering all topics, they focus on a specific topic or theme. This allows students to test their knowledge in a more targeted way and identify any areas they may need to improve on. By practicing with Topical Past Papers, students have the opportunity to enhance their understanding of a subject and build their confidence ahead of the exam.

Help students learn how scientists collect observations and record results clearly during an investigation. This ready-to-teach resource is part of the Investigate Like a Scientist series, designed to explicitly teach the scientific skills students need to investigate the world around them and communicate their findings. In many investigations, students carry out experiments but struggle to record their results clearly or consistently. This lesson helps students understand how scientists collect and organise information so that results can be interpreted and shared. Students learn how to: Observe carefully during an investigation Record results clearly and accurately Use simple tables, charts, or drawings to organize information Understand why scientists record data using the same method each time Rather than expecting students to develop these skills informally, this resource explicitly teaches the process step-by-step, using clear examples appropriate for KS 2 learners. Ideal for Years 3-4 classrooms and suitable for non-specialist teachers, this lesson helps students build confidence in recording scientific observations and results. What’s Included This bundle contains a complete classroom package to teach the skill Collecting and Recording Data. Teacher Guide A clear overview explaining what data collection is and why it is important in science investigations. Includes teaching guidance, worked examples, and optional sentence starters to support student thinking. Classroom Slide Deck A ready-to-use PowerPoint lesson introducing students to how scientists collect observations and record results during an investigation. Student Notes Student-friendly explanations and examples showing how to record data using simple tables, charts, and labelled observations. Additional Teaching Resources Extra examples and activities that allow students to practise collecting and recording results during investigations. Why Teachers Love This Resource Fully ready-to-teach science lessons Ideal for busy teachers and non-specialist science teachers Develops key Working Scientifically skills Helps students organise results clearly Can be applied to any science topic As part of the Investigate Like a Scientist program, these classroom slides are most powerful when used with the matching posters and the experiment/investigation workbook. The posters and teaching slides provide the explicit instruction, while the workbook allows students to apply the skill sequence in a structured and professional format.
