  • Exercise 2: Using data

    • Activity 3: Presenting data

    • Learners are expected to be able to present novel research data. 

      This can take different forms: in tables, bar charts, histograms or scatter graphs. 

      This activity allows learners to apply their knowledge and understanding of different data analysis to information that they are unfamiliar with.

      Learners complete Worksheet 6: Presenting data to develop their skills in accurately presenting data with which they are unfamiliar in the different required formats. 

      Next, learners peer assess the graph or table produced, considering the following questions:

      • Are all axes / columns / rows labelled?
      • Have units been included where needed?
      • Is there a suitable title?
      • Has data been plotted or recorded correctly?

      Provide learners with Worksheet 6: Presenting data answers, asking them to look at the data against what they produced.
