Use these questions to discuss what you have discovered

  • What do you notice about where people have placed their picture?
  • What can you say about what this shows?
  • Do people in our class prefer cats, dogs or neither? How do you know that?
  • What else do we need to know to answer our question?
  • Is there anything missing for others to be able to ‘read’ our data?

I wonder if our results would be the same as another class

Teach another class how to collect information to answer the investigative question.
