As a part of our pilot study, Year 6 (10-11 year old) students investigated if the weather (such as Hourly Temperature, Hourly Mean Wind Direction, Hourly Relative Humidity, Hourly Global Radiation etc.) Key skills are interpretation of graphical data, interpretation of averages and drawing conclusions from data. Data sets were provided by the Met office as well as the school. Weather data around windspeed correlates closely to the number of slips, trips and falls in the playground. A post attitude survey suggests that the students have more positive attitudes towards learning statistical concepts, and less stressed during the learning, but their confidence using ICT tools were slightly decreased.
