[Yr11 Information Technology] U101 - warmup exercise

[ATKINSON-BUCK, Damien]

Hi all,
Not sure if it's of use, but attached is a warmup exercise I gave my students today to get them thinking about hypothesis testing and infographics. I don't go into surveys or the laws, but there is room for expansion if anyone is keen.
It is based on the Candy Is Dandy exercise I downloaded from (I think) the Microsoft Education website a few years ago and updated to include a bit more from this study design.
I always find it awesome how well the guys work when you say they can't start eating until you've seen their graphs/conclusion and there's a bag of lollies in front of them.
Feel free to let me know of any improvements I can make - am toying with the idea of ramping it up into a sample/mini practice SAT.....
Cheers
Damien
