Data Presentation Section

This section is all about presenting your data in accurate and relevant ways. Look at the list below which summarises some of the data presentation methods you could use:

maps, bar charts, line graphs, pictographs, land use maps, diagrams, pie charts, photographs, stacked bar graphs, tables, divided bar graphs, field sketches, pyramid graphs.

Whichever techniques are chosen, they must be APPROPRIATE for the data involved.

To access, Level 3 (more COMPLEX), you must satisfy, levels 1 and 2 and then use at least 2 of the following:

scattergraph (with line of best fit), accurate cross sections, well annotated sketches and photographs, proportional flow lines, spearman rank calculation, overlays which show relationships between data sets, dispersion graphs and choropleth maps.
