Eight independent written and practical tasks

Keep source records, digital displays and written explanations. An adult checks practical evidence; unavailable source access remains pending.

  1. Organise these twelve colour responses into a digital frequency table: blue, red, green, blue, red, blue, green, blue, red, green, blue, red. Create a many-to-one pictograph with one symbol for 2 and explain the half symbols.

  2. Draw a zero-based column graph for invented plant observations TrayP3, TrayQ6, TrayR9 sprouted seeds. Label it and write two science-context comparisons.

  3. Collect one real count variable from at least five willing people, such as the number of pencils they have. Enter the responses digitally, graph their frequencies and explain why the variable is numerical.

  4. Create a teacher-supervised online poll with one anonymous choice per respondent. Compare its generated graph or word cloud with the raw responses. Record one accuracy check and whether AI-assisted output was available.

  5. Observe a safe science activity at a stated time and collect at least three category counts. Produce a digital display, explain one result and state what it cannot prove.

  6. Roll a die fifteen times, tally the outcomes and enter frequencies digitally. Create a column graph including outcomes that occurred zero times. Compare two outcomes and explain why a repeat may differ.

  7. With an adult, select three comparable published fire-burn records from a named Ranger organisation or official agency. Record source, period, place and units, graph the values digitally and state two bounded findings.

  8. A digital chart shows cats 7, dogs 8, birds 4, but the verified table says cats 7, dogs 6, birds 4. Correct the display and write the corrected total and largest category.

Answers and adult review guidance
  1. Blue 5, Red 4, Green 3; total 12. Use 2½,2,1½ symbols respectively. Check raw list frequencies, digital table, key and halves.

  2. Total 18; R has 6 more than P and 3 more than Q. Graph heights 3,6,9; findings describe these invented example data only. Check scale and specific comparisons.

  3. Actual counts vary; whole-number counts are numerical; frequency total equals respondents. Inspect five genuine records and matching digital graph.

  4. Results vary; verify category grouping and counts. A cloud needs a key/table for exact values; note actual AI availability honestly. Require actual digital poll/output and source comparison.

  5. Actual observations and graph match; counts alone do not prove a cause. Require genuine observations, context, labels, evidence and limitation.

  6. Counts vary and total 15. All outcomes 1–6 appear on the axis; randomness permits different results next time. Inspect actual 15-trial record, digital table and graph.

  7. Actual source determines answers. Preserve counts versus area units and avoid recommending a burn plan from the graph alone. Inspect real secondary records and exact display; leave pending if source unavailable.

  8. Repair dogs to 6; total 17; cats 7 is largest. Inspect corrected graph, total and conclusion.
