Pet data
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can recognise that data can be used to make information about pets.
Key learning points
- Data can be used to make information about pets.
- Each fact about a pet is a data point.
- Data can be written using words or numbers.
Keywords
Fact - something that is true and can be proved
Data - numbers, words or pictures that you collect to learn something
Information - important knowledge or facts you get from the data you collected
Common misconception
Data is only numbers.
Data can be numbers, words or groups that we make. When we write things down, count them or put them into groups, we are creating data.
Teacher tip
You could extend the first learning cycle to ask pupils to identify data about their own pets or other images of pets you may have in the classroom.
