Elaborations
- • Elaboration using spreadsheet software to carry out mathematical analyses of data
- • Elaboration describing sample properties such as mean, median, range and large gaps visible on a graph to make generalisations, acknowledging uncertainties and the effects of outliers
- • Elaboration considering how data or information can be organised and represented to effectively communicate support for conclusions, including through visual or interactive models
- • Elaboration considering how the scales used for representing data affect interpretation of the data
- • Elaboration evaluating the merits and limitations of time-lapse visual representations of changes in polar ice coverage with a mathematical representation
- • Elaboration comparing merits and limitations of patterns as represented by the periodic table with graphical representations of patterns such as melting point or boiling point, and with consideration of anomalies
