ExperimentsAtSchool
ExperimentsAtSchool allows students to collect and analyse experimental data to draw practical conclusions in subjects including science, geography and psychology. Aimed at students aged 7 to 16, the experiments help them to develop and improve their data handling and statistical skills.
Each experiment has associated activity sheets and teachers' notes which give the aim and objectives of the experiment and suggest possible investigations the children could undertake using that particular experiment.
The Project was originally launched in 2003 with the support of the Department of Education, Specialist Schools Trust and the Association for Science Education, and worked in conjunction with the Centre for Effective Learning in Science at Nottingham Trent University. It is now run from Plymouth University by the ICSE (International Centre for Statistical Education).

How Old?
Using the data from CensusAtSchool 2006/2007, this data analysis resource looks at trends in life expectancy in populations. Students consider both the primary data collected from CensusAtSchool and secondary data about life expectancy and major causes of death. A plenary asks students to consider what they have...
Just What Is a Pulse Rate?
In this activity, Key Stage Three students investigate pulse rate and its relationship with activity and life style. Using real data from CensusAtSchool 2002/2003 they see how difficult it can be to measure pulse rate accurately. Students are required to interpret graphs, tables and charts.
Let's Compare Feet!
This resource contains a starter activity in which Key Stage Four which explores data analysis and what conclusions can and cannot be drawn from scatter graphs. This can be used to discuss correlation, trends, continuous and discontinuous data, extrapolation and lines of best fit.
