Visualising scientific data accurately

This Science scheme of work video introduces teachers to the skills needed to help Key Stage 2 pupils accurately record and represent continuous data using line graphs in Science lessons. It explains how to distinguish between continuous and discontinuous data, choose appropriate graph types, and guide pupils through each step of drawing clear, well-structured line graphs. The video demonstrates how to label axes, determine scales, plot data points with precision, and draw a line of best fit to identify trends and make predictions.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Science Working scientifically resources. It simplifies the process, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to support pupils in collecting, analysing, and visually representing continuous data effectively in lessons like the ones below.
