Grade: 9M

Subject: Integrated Science

Topic: Working like a Scientist

Sub-topic: Data Presentation and Analysis

Lesson Duration: 4 hours

Attainment Targets:

• Apply scientific knowledge and processes to the solution of real world problems.

• Use mathematics as a tool for problem-solving, and as a means of expressing and or modeling
scientific theories.

• Appreciate the influence and limitations of science with consideration for ethical issues.

Science Standard: Students will understand the importance of the scientific methods to our
everyday life and how these methods involved the use of Data presentation and Analysis for
the effective interpretation of experimental data to determine similarities and differences in
findings.

Technological Standard: Student will develop and understand the technological use of tools
used to accurately collect and present data.

Mathematics Standard: Students will used the correct tools, units, attributes to estimate and
carry out the expedient effectively.

Key vocabulary: Hypothesis, problem statement, presentation, data, analyze, controlling

variables.

Key Skills: Communicate, Collaborate, formulate hypothesize, plan and design, investigate
record, observe, interpret.

Extended Learning:

Identify an invention and research the process that were involved in its development

Bench Mark:

Student should:
 Analyze and interpret experimental data to determine similarities and differences in
findings.

 Appreciate the importance of scientific methods.

 Demonstrate objectivity by seeking data and information to validate observations and
explanations.
 Demonstrate sensitivity to others who are different.
 Demonstrate curiosity, objectivity and perseverance in their approach to scientific
activities

Learning Objectives:

Students will:

• Construct tables, pie charts, bar graphs and line graphs to required standards

• Construct pie charts using findings from observations

• Make labelled drawings\ diagrams to required standard.

• Analyze and interpret displayed data.

• Annotate drawings

Prior Knowledge:

• Identify the steps in scientific method

• Present data in a variety of scientifically acceptable ways

• Recall types of variables

Content Outline:

Data analysis is the process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming data with goal of discovering
useful information which aids in conclusion and decision making. Abstract Data are collected
often in raw form. These are then not useable unless summarized. Data presented in the form
of tables give good information in a concise form. Tables provide all relevant information of the
data. Apart from tabular presentation, graphical presentation of data has also become quite
popular. It gives visual presentation of data. Some graphical presentation of data are:

A pie chart or pie diagram is large circles divided into sectors. Each sector represents a
proportion of the total 360 degrees of the circle, and therefore can be used to show the relative
numbers/ percentages/ quantities of anything measured. Sometimes to differentiate the
sectors more clearly, a key can be used.

A bar graph is a chart that uses bars to show comparisons between categories of data. The bar
can be vertical or horizontal. Bar are sometimes called vertically bar graphs. A bar graph will
have two axes. One axis will describe the types of categories being compared, and the other will
have numerical values that represent the value of data. If the descriptions are on the horizontal
axis, the bars will be oriented vertically, and if the values are along the horizontal axis, the bars
will be oriented horizontally.

A histogram is a display of statistical information that uses rectangles to show the frequency of
data items in successive numerical intervals of equal size. In the most common form of
histogram, the independent variable is plotted along the horizontal axis and the dependent
variable is plotted along the vertical axis.

A line chart or line graph is a type of chart which displays information as a series of data points
called "markers" connected by straight line segments. It is a basic type of chart common in
many fields.

Engagement:

Students will be presented with an untitled and unlabeled pie chart, graphs and table. Teacher
and student will engage in discussion to analyze the data presented to them and how they
would go about to write appropriate titles and label accurately.

Exploration:

Students will be presented with a scenario which required them to label and annotate the
diagram given to them accurately.

Explanation:

Students will present their findings base on the activity provided, the activity entails accurate
data analysis and presentation. The teacher will guide students and clarify any misconception
present.

Elaboration and Extension:

Students will be given a model type pie chart, bar graph and a line graph to label and analyze
data correctly. Students will then present their findings to the class.
