This activity explores the following key ideas:
- People and the environment are not data, but data can tell us things about people, their lives, and their environment.
- At this age, each step in the cycle will need to be led and supported by the teacher.
- Data visualisations are representations of all available values of one or more variables that reveal relationships or tell a story.
