Data collection and presentation
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can describe how data is collected and use various methods to present and plot data.
Key learning points
- Bar charts are plotted by labelling the vertical and the horizontal axis.
- Bar charts are drawn with equal width and start from zero on the vertical axis.
- Line graphs are drawn by plotting points and connecting them with a line.
- Data can be collected with numbers; quantative and with descriptions; qualitative.
Keywords
Quantitative data - a measurement which can be quantified as a number.; there is no expressed opinion; it is a fact
Qualitative data - more of a subjective than an objective appraisal; involves opinions relating to the quality of performance rather than the quantity
Common misconception
Graphs in exam questions will have the x and y axes labelled.
One of the skills assessed in GCSE PE exam questions is to label the x and y axes, as well as plot data and present as the method requested by the question.
Teacher tip
Tables, bar charts and line graphs will be used in a breadth of curriculum subjects. However, please use the array of topics in the specification to practice ways of presenting data. It is an assessed Ofqual requirement. It is beneficial to make this explicit and 'taught rather than caught'.
Equipment
Graph paper, up-to-date sport, exercise and PE data and trends

We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
