Year 7 ICT at key stage 3 - Unit 5: Data - Designing Structure, Capturing and Presenting Data

In this unit students will consider the information that they need in order to collect appropriate data to test a hypothesis. Students will collect data using questionnaires, design a structure to contain the data and enter it into a file by the use of spreadsheets and word. Students will also create a database and will analyse the results and draw conclusions from the data that they input. During the process students will learn how to add fields to the database and consider data-validation techniques that might be used to check the data for accuracy. Once all data has been collated they use the results to produce a report.
