Pupils collect data - they could enter the data directly into a class spreadsheet projected on to a white board. As each set of three groups finishes at their station, each pupil should make sure that they have their personal data completed on their data slip before moving to the next station. Groups circulate through all three stations helping each other to make accurate measurements. | |||
Data could be collected in one lesson and analysed in a further lesson. This gives the teacher time to set up the range fields on the spreadsheet based on the data collected. | Data could be collected in one lesson and analysed in a further lesson.
