Activity: Gathering Data for Questions

sage thinks

First do the Asking Questions Activity and thern the Improving Questions Activity

Now choose one of your questions, and let us work out how to gather the data!

Your Question:

How you gather the data depends on the type of question.

If it is about people's ideas or opinions you may need to do a survey.
If it just needs counting, go out and count!

But before you go gathering data, make a form that can be filled in. Gather as much information for each answer that you can (without affecting people's privacy) so that you can play with the data later.

Example: People's opinion on spending more on the park:

Subject		Opinion
Age	Gender	Spend More (y/n)?	On What?	How Much?
