1. THE 4WH SURVEY

2. The Job! Mr. XXX has asked you to do a very special job. He wants you to conduct a survey so he and the other principals can get a better understanding about the students at XXX This is what he would like you to do. Hi everybody! This week I would like you to all come up with a question that helps me and the other principals know a bit more about CEPS. I would like you to: -Come up with 8 different questions that you could ask the members of CEPS to give the principals information about the school. -Choose one question and survey the other members of 4WH. -Record the information using a class list and then record the information using a table and tally marks. -Create a graph to represent the data you have collected. -Write a brief summary about the graph and information you collected to present to the all the principals.

3. The question! When asking a question to conduct surveys, it is important to make sure that there are options for the people to chose from. What happens if you don’t give them options? There are two types of questions that you can ask. There are questions that are CATEGORICAL and there are questions that are NUMERICAL. CATEGORICAL QUESTIONS – Give answers that are not numbers. NUMERICAL QUESTIONS – Give answers that are numbers.

4. The question! COME UP WITH 8 DIFFERENT QUESTIONS. FOR EACH QUESTION, GIVE 6 POSSIBLE ANSWERS FOR THE STUDENTS OF 4WH TO CHOOSE FROM. YOU MUST HAVE A MIX OF CATEGORICAL AND NUMERICAL QUESTIONS. Example What is your favourite dinner to eat? Chicken Parma, Roast Beef and Vegies, Soup, Burgers and Chips, Pizza, Tacos. What time do you go to sleep at night? 7:00pm, 7:30pm, 8:00pm, 8:30pm, 9:00pm, 9:30pm, Later

10. What does your data mean? Now that you have finished your survey, collected your data and graphed your results, you need to come to a conclusion about the information you have. Why did you collect the information? What is the information telling you? What conclusions can you make based on the information? Writing a statement of results summarises all the data you have collected. For example –

11. What does your data mean? Sample: The graph that we are looking at is called ‘Number of lollies’ and it shows us who has the fewest lollies in the form of a bar graph. The graph shows us that Paul has the most lollies with a number of 12. Ryan has the second most amount of lollies with 8. Grace has 6 lollies and Ari has least amount of lollies with 4. Ryan has 2 times the amount of lollies than Ari. The difference between the highest amount of lollies and the lowest amount of lollies is 8. In conclusion Ari has the fewest lollies.
