Data handling in the classroom
Description
Lynne Hall, a year 2 teacher at Goosnargh Oliverson's C of E Primary School in Preston, is keen to use ICT in data handling. She visits Chris Thomas, a year 5 teacher at Ash Cartwright and Kelsey C of E Primary School in Kent, who has been using data handling technology with his pupils for some time. She observes a science class on insulation in which pupils use data loggers and thermometers to record the temperature of different liquids they cool down and then input the data to computer spreadsheets. Chris produces a line graph based on the children's readings which he shows on the whiteboard to prompt discussion of the experiment. Back at her school, there's a PSHE event in which elderly people from a nearby residential home are invited to tea at the school. Lynne's pupils visit the old people to take orders for drinks and sandwiches and the children input the data into a computer to create a bar graph showing the numbers of each food and drink item required.
