Presenting data
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can analyse, interpret and reflect on geographical data gathered through fieldwork.
Key learning points
- Geographers use sketch maps, paper and digital maps, grid references, and geographical vocabulary to locate fieldwork.
- Data can be shared in many different ways, such as through maps, tables, diagrams, graphs and reports.
- Data can be examined to think about what it is showing: it’s helpful to think about how reliable the answers might be.
Keywords
Report - A report is a detailed written or spoken presentation, for example, of a geographical enquiry.
Table - You can use a table to present data or information in a grid using rows and columns
Graph - A graph is a diagram or picture that displays data.

Common misconception
Not all data may fit the pattern they have identified.
These are called anomalies and can sometimes be explained away but individual anomalies would not disprove a pattern exists.
Teacher tip
It would be great to arrange a litter pick in the local area once your have completed this unit. This unit could also be used as evidence towards an Eco Schools award.
