Lesson3 of 3 in this unit
SecondaryYear 7 - 8MathematicsStatisticsProbabilityEnvironmentalBiodiversityCitizen ScienceClimate ChangeSustainability
Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will consolidate learning from the previous two ClimateWatch lessons by taking on the role of a data analyst and communicator. Students consider phenological data samples of the Australian magpie and temperature data to make inferences and predictions. After summarising the data and drawing conclusions, students will work in groups to create a digital report of their findings for an audience of their peers.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- be able to analyse raw data to make it more understandable
- be able to make predictions based on their analysed data
- be able to offer suggestions based on their predictions
- be able to communicate their findings
Success criteria
Students can:
- use summary statistics to turn data into meaningful evidence
- recognise that samples chosen may result in differences between their respective summary statistics
- choose which statistical measures can be applied to the Australian magpie dataset
- make predictions based on conclusions relating to phenology data
