Data that can only take distinct values or is a category, e.g. shoe size, number of people.

Data that can be a value within a range, e.g. temperature, mass, height, etc.

Chart showing solid columns to present data; usually used when one variable is discrete.

A graph in which two continuous variables are plotted.  It is used to find if a relationship exists between the variables.

A line of best fit is drawn through a set of plotted points on a scatter graph, to best show the trend in the data displayed.

Science

In the Separation Techniques unit, pupils will build on their knowledge of solutions to learn about methods for separating mixtures, including filtration, evaporation, distillation, and chromatography.

In the Solid, Liquid and Gas States and Changes of State unit, pupils learned to categorise substances into the solid, liquid or gas state and explored particle behaviour during changes of state.

Solutions

Data that can only take specific, distinct values is called {{}} data.

A scatter graph is the most appropriate choice for representing data when both variables are discrete. True or false?

Which of the following should always be included when writing a conclusion to an investigation?

When drawing a line of best fit on a graph, any results that are {{}} will be ignored.
