No matter what age you’re teaching there’s loads of ways
that you can take your data handling lessons outdoors from creating huge graphs
on the playground to investigating which mini-beasts are in your outdoor space.
One of our favourite ways to teach data handling skills is
by getting the students to take part in a litter / trash pick. This is a very
relevant topic and can be linked to loads of other areas of the curriculum.
Living near the sea, I normally choose to take the students down to a beach to
take part in a beach clean. Once they have collected the rubbish, they will
then look into the different materials they have found, collecting data, and
representing it on a graph back in the classroom.
Cross-curricular follow up activities:
Persuasive letter about the importance of taking
part in trash / litter picks.
Report Writing / Science – The Harmful effects
of pollution.
Geography – Plot where in the world / town the
rubbish has come from
