What kind of data are you?

Hello there! Today we looked at two types of data, qualitative and quantitative. You found your data 'soulmates' and then determined which piece of information was quantitative and which was qualitative. A quick reminder

Quantitative: is data or research that is based on numerical and statistical analysis. Having to do with empirical data (numbers driven)

Qualitative: is data or research based on attitude behavior and/or experiences.

You did an excellent job differentiating between the two and we had some great questions. A few things we noticed:

1. Qualitative data usually supports or negates quantitative data. It may not always necessarily be true and can sometimes be opinion based.

2. We can turn a qualitative statement into a quantitative statement by conducting research and presenting data based on research, and data analysis.

Agenda:

1. We finished the lab from yesterday

2. Discussed with teams how graphs can represent data

3. Determined some key elements of graphs (x and y axis, title, titles of axis, scale, type of graph)

4. still some left for tomorrow

We also made a divider to separate humanities and MST in 7th grade and we will do that tomorrow in 6th grade.

REMINDER! 1.5" binder by Friday!

Ciao!
