Collecting data
We collect data to answer questions. The way that we collect the data is not always the same. We can collect data by asking opinions, observing, carrying out simple experiments or using other data.
Work with a partner. Think about and then list examples of where data is collected and represented in real life. How many examples can you think about? Do you think the data is collected by
asking opinions, observing, using simple experiments or using other data that has been previously collected? Why do you think this is?
