Interpret results Test hypotheses, making decisions about how best to record and analyse the information from large data sets Construct and interpret graphs and diagrams (including pie charts) to represent discrete or continuous data, with the learner choosing an appropriate scale Select and justify statistics most appropriate to the problem considering extreme values (outliers) Examine results critically, select and justify choice of statistics recognising the limitations of any assumptions and their effect on the conclusion drawn Use appropriate mathematical instruments and methods to construct accurate drawings Science, PSE, Maths Climate Change ESDGC: Climate Change Carbon dioxide versus temperature, look at the graph and answer the seven questions looking at temperature and carbon dioxide.
