About this printable

This organiser breaks a statistical investigation into numbered steps: define the question, plan the investigation (population, variables, sampling, sample size, materials, data collection), ensure a fair test (controls / confounders), collect data (recording plan and table sketch), analyse data (summary statistics and graphs checklist) and conclude/reflect (results and evaluation). It is a scaffold to use when students design and run small-scale data investigations or coursework projects and includes a final 'before you begin' checklist. The language assumes students already know basic terms (variable, categorical/quantitative, mean/median/mode) so it is a support rather than a teach-yourself introduction.
