| Each child completes a title page for the unit | ||||
| Include the goals – discussion in groups then each group decides on their own wording The students will prepare a consumer survey over two classes (age range 7-10).They must be able to explain the written and oral findings (more advanced students will prepare a graph using Excel). |
Gateway 1 – Goal setting | The students can:-Prepare a graph from the data showing data labels, legends and titles. Links to AO 7/8 | Students will investigate all the different types of drink preferred at their age;They will conduct their research with a minimum of 20 subjects over the above age range. | |
From the information gathered and now presented in graphic form, we can see what it is telling us, by answering the following questions in buzz groups;
