Collecting data is a great way to learn about the world around us, to question the world we live in, and help resolve curiosities that we have.

It was timely that researchers visited our classroom today, along with other classrooms, gathering data about students and how we recognize faces. The researchers will share the results in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

We’ve been conducting our own class data, looking at several different topics such as:

• How long can you stand on your Left foot vs. your Right foot (with eyes closed)
• How much sugar is in our cereal?
• What is our favourite type of food that we can order to eat at school (e.g. pizza, Pita Pit)
• How long do we typically spend in front of a screen on a daily basis?

All of these questions have been answered using various types of graphs such as line plots, bar graphs, pictographs.

Have a look at some of our results!

This week, students will be surveying their peers to pose their own question they are interested in finding the answer to.  It is important we avoid ‘YES’/’NO’ questions. Students will have to provide 4-5 possible responses for their peers to choose from. We can’t wait to share our results with you!
