A unit of work to introduce types of data and to discuss different ways of collecting data. The zip file contains: A PowerPoint (pptx) slide on two-way tables used as a lesson starter. A PowerPoint (pptx) presentation that asks questions about types of data (primary/secondary, qualitative/quantitative) and data collection techniques including types of sampling. It also briefly looks at how different types of data can be represented in bar charts, frequency diagrams and histograms. A worksheet (pdf/docx) on collecting data where students match types of data to keywords such as primary, secondary, qualitative, quantitative, discrete and continuous. A Match-up activity (pdf/docx) on sampling methods, where students match the method with its description and some advantages and disadvantages of the technique. Includes an answer sheet. A worksheet (pdf/docx) about surveys showing 7 different survey questions. Students are asked for one criticism of each question and to rewrite it in a more suitable form. A worksheet (pdf/docx) about representing data containing 5 questions. Each question has a table containing data and students are asked to draw 2 bar charts, a pie chart, a line graph and a scatter graph. This is a good revision exercise to remind students of the variety of graphs they already know how to draw.

LO: To be able to understand and identify different types of data. Introduction to the different types of data (qualitative, quantitative, discrete, continuous, primary and secondary) and the data handling cycle. Includes key word Frayer Models, sorting activities, a crossword and a wordsearch.

A simple PPT looking at the ways of collecting data, what makes good survey questions and data collection sheets.

This resource is a set of slides which detail the various types of river data collection methods that students may use on a school field trip. It is purely information, rather than tasks. Includes Youtube videos and images/diagrams. Can be used for IGCSE/GCSE or KS3.

Collecting data: Building the skills to collect data and then handling it. First you need to be able to match items, then record what is selected using a picture graph and lastly reading the data. This resource has data collection using colours, favourite biscuits and music. It was designed for using with students with special needs and would be useful with young students. The symbol boards can be used to carry out a survey and then there is a grid and cards to record the answers.

This lesson gives an intro to primary and secondary data collection. I use this with my Y7 low ability students. It involves taking them to collect car colour data from the staff car park!! We then use a secondary sources to collect car colour data and compare the two. This can also lead on to the analysis and presentation of the data. I have sued it as a data source for bar charts, dual bar charts and also pictograms. It is also an opportunity for the students to discuss and make their own hypotheses.

6 Data collection sheets that can be used in a variety of ways, I prefer to use one question to demonstrate the use of the Venn diagram then spread 4 around the classroom and have students move to each one recording names in the correct sections. You may have an outdoor painted diagram where students can stand in the appropriate positions or be able to create a diagram with rope loops, however the full activity can be completed from students responding with raised hands. A blank data collection sheet is included for you to choose a question/s particularly suited to your location or student group, also a student worksheet for individuals to record results and a copy of the picture to aid your initial description.

Used for KS4 introduction to statistics lesson. Defines the words needed to understand concepts of sampling and data collection strategies.

Strictly follows the A-level Cambridge Environmental management new syllabus for examinations from 2022. A great resource for both teachers and students- a remedy since Cambridge has no resource yet for this syllabus. It is also useful for any environmental studies, Biology and even Geography at all levels. This resource covers- The scientific method Formulate hypotheses Characteristics of Hypothesis Design investigations in which variables are controlled and quantitative results are collected dependent and independent variable Interpret data to determine whether they support or refute the hypothesis being tested Explain how limitations in the measurement of data lead to uncertainty in the results understanding that a hypothesis that is consistently supported by investigation and observation can become a theory Environmental research in the context of climate change reliable and bias how historical data have developed how bias has led to the misuse of scientific data how unreliable data has led to false reporting of scientific conclusions Collection of environmental data Sampling strategies how random sampling and systematic sampling strategies aim to ensure samples are well distributed with a low risk of bias factors influencing the suitability of random sampling or systematic sampling strategies for different studies techniques used to collect sample data Quadrats (open frame Grid and point) Pitfall traps Sweep nets Beating tray kick sampling Light traps Capture-mark-recapture water turbidity Questionnaires Interviews benefits and limitations of each sampling technique listed population size using the Lincoln index biodiversity using the Simpson’s index of diversity abundance using quadrat data The use of technology in data collection and analysis Remote sensing Radio tracking Computational Modeling What Is Crowdsourcing? ‘big data’ Big data challenges benefits and limitations of the analysis of big data
