Explore how many kids bring lunch to school and whether their lunch contains fruit. Choose questions to ask in a survey. For example, look at the percentages of kids at different ages who bring lunch to school. Examine a table of results. Sort the data and use it to answer questions. Display the results choosing a suitable type of graph such as a pie chart, bar graph or histogram. Identify conclusions supported by the evidence. Write a report based on the survey results. This learning object is one in a series of three learning objects.
