FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING on identifying discrete versus continuous data
• We are FOCUSING on enhancing data displays using Google Spreadsheet
• We are FOCUSING on calculating averages to help examine and discuss results (Mean, Median, Mode & Range)

REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO learning intentions:

• We are REFLECTING on our 'Results', 'Conclusion' and 'Discussion' statements to ensure we have effectively evaluated the findings of our scientific investigations.
