Grade: 8a
Subject: Integrated Science
Topic: Working like a Scientist
Sub-Topic: Data Presentation and Analysis
Lesson Duration: 4 hours
Attainment Target:
 Apply Scientific knowledge and processes to the solution of real world
problems.
 Use mathematics as a tool for solving problems, 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 scientific

methods to our everyday life, and how these methods involve the use of data
presentation and analysis for the effective interpretation of experimental data
to determine similarities and differences in findings.

Technological Standard: Students will develop and understand the

technological use of tools used to accurately collect and present data.

Mathematics Standard: Students will use Pie Chart, Histograms, Bar

Graft, Line Graph and units to record data.

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 processes that

were involved in its invention.

Bench Mark: Students should:

 Analyzed and interpret experimental data to determine similarities and
differences in findings.
 Appreciate the importance of scientific method.
 Demonstrate objectivity by seeking data and information to validate
observation and explanations.
 Demonstrate sensitivity to others who are different.
 Demonstrate curiosity, objectively and perseverance in their approach to
scientific activities.
Learning Objectives:
Students will:
 Construct tables, pie chart, bar graphs, histograms and line graphs to
required standards.
 Construct pie chart using findings from observations.
 Make labelled drawings or diagrams to required standards.
 Analyze and interpret displayed data.
 Annotate drawings
Prior Knowledge:
 Identify the steps in scientific methods.
 Present data in a variety of scientifically acceptable ways.
 Recall types of variables.
Content Outline:
data analysis is the process of inspecting, cleansing and transforming data
with the goal to discover useful information which aids in conclusion and
decision making. Abstract data are often collected in the raw form, which is
not usable until it is summarized. Data presented in table format gives good
information in a concise form. The table provides all relevant information of
the data. Apart from tabular presentation, graphical presentation is used as
well. It gives a visual presentation of the data. Some graphical presentations
are:
Pie Chart or Pie Diagram is a circular statistical graphic which is divided
into slices to illustrate numerical proportion. Each sector represents a
proportion of the total 3600 of the circle, and therefore can be used to show
the relative numbers, percentages and quantities of anything measured. To
differentiate the sectors clearly, a key is used.

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

Histogram is a display of statistical information that uses rectangles to show

the frequency of data items in successive numerical intervals of equal size.
The most common form of histogram has the independent variable plotted
along the horizontal axis and the dependent variable plotted along the
vertical axis.

Line Graph or line chart, 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. Line graphs can also be used
to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group.
Some examples of graphical presentation:

Bar Graph
Histogram
Line Graphs

Engagement:
Students will be presented with an untitled and unlabeled pie chart, graphs
and tables. The teacher and students will engage in discussion to analyze the
data presented. The students will be asked to write appropriate titles and
label each graph accurately.
Exploration:
Students will be presented with a scenario which will require them to label
and annotate the diagram 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 misconceptions.

Elaboration and Extension:

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

Evaluation 1:
Students will be given:

Table showing number of invertebrates collected in a field.

Types of Invertebrates Number collected

Earth worm 4
Insects 17
Snail 6
Slugs 1
Millipedes 8
Total 36

1. Represent the information in the table above on a Pie chart.

2. Using the pie chart, indicate:
a. What degrees does insects occupy?
b. What percentage of the total circle is occupied by insects?
 c. What is the name of the space or slice that each organism occupies?
