As part of our Healthy Body, Healthy Mind inquiry, we have been thinking about different ways to measure our strength and fitness.
We revisited some learning around heart rates. We had another go at recording our heart rate before and after exercise. This time, we put all that data on a dot plot. This type of graph makes it easy to see patterns!
The beep test might spark fear in the hearts of many, but we absolutely loved it. Everybody gave it their all. This left us with a really interesting set of data. We looked at a different type of graph - the Stem & Leaf. We learned about how to analyse data by finding the range, mean, median and mode. We also learnt that data always has limitations but as long as you know and make clear what they are, that's all good!
Next we looked at how to plan an investigation. Staying with the idea of fitness data, we thought of exercises that would be easy to measure. We also talked about the idea of sampling. We don't have time to measure everyone! Here are some of the things we measured:
 |
| Plank |
 |
| Sit-ups |
 |
| Sprint course |
 |
| Standing jump |
 |
| Pull-ups Here is an example of the plan we used: |
We are data detectives! Watch out for more data analysis to come. We'll do the beep test again and compare our results later in the term.
