Tables, charts, and graphs
Construct data tables with correct headings and SI units, plot appropriate graph types (bar chart, line graph, scatter graph), draw a line of best fit, and calculate the gradient of a straight-line graph
Typical age: 12–13 years
“If your child collected data on how spring length changes with the weight added, could they put it in a correct table, plot it as a line graph with axes labelled in the right units, draw a line of best fit, and calculate the gradient?”

Needs first
- Repeated tests for reliability
Correct use of SI units and significant figures in tables and axes is grounded in the precision/accuracy topic
- Bar graphs
Science inquiry recording data in tables and graphs draws on the bar chart and time graph skills from Math data representation
- Classifying living things (age 9+)REQUIRED
KS3 graphing (lines of best fit, gradients) extends KS2 ability to construct and interpret line graphs and scatter graphs
