DATA INTERPRETATION - ENQUIRY A

Describe = put into words what the results show

Analyse = try to explain and give reasons for the patterns shown by the results.

Demonstrate links between the data
Discuss the implications that one set of data might have on another
Relate the analysis to the theory you described and explained earlier – i.e. CBD characteristics

Draw valid conclusions that relate back to the original hypothesis
Summarise results and reach some decision or judgement that relates to the hypothesis
Give reasons for accepting or rejecting each hypothesis


Refer specifically to the data by referring to particular page numbers
Have you made specific numerical references to your data.
Make references to graphs, diagrams etc.

Concentric circles

Concentric circles (assessed as complex skill)
· Photocopy original base map
· Assume centre of Mell Square is centre of CBD draw a circle with a radius of 4cm, 8cm etc until you reach edge of map.
· Cut out each circle
· Stick each zone onto separate pieces of paper and count the number of each ground floor land use there is in each zone.
· Produce a table as in tally chart
· Draw suitable graph to show data – colour each section of graph the same colour as the land use category used on the map.

• could also include a photograph to show typical land uses in that particular zone.

cluster squares

What is it?
A base map divided into grid squares shaded in dominant land use of each square
(assessed as complex skill)
· Draw squares over map 100m 5cm x 5cm
· Shade each square according to the dominant land use colour used in land use classification table.
· If any squares are dominated by two or more equal land uses then split the square accordingly
· Title


What are you trying to show – Why? Link to hypotheses
· Tracing overlay to:
i. State dominant land use type
ii. Show clusters if two or more similar land use squares are located next to each other
· Could graph the total no of squares in each land use category

2nd deadline Thursday 12th June for Enquiry A Hypothesis and methods only

A lot of you have clearly put a great deal of effort into completing the first part of Enquiry A and have achieved full marks!

WELL DONE

now for the next deadline: Thursday 12th JUNE (after the physics exam excuse!!!)

Please could you hand in both hypotheses and methodology for enquiry A and Enquiry B.
Please ensure that you describe:
Enquiry A:
land use mapping

Enquiry B:
questionnaire
taking of photographs
Shopping quality and street survey
pedestrian count

you must describe each method in detail and explain how it will help you to either prove or disprove your hypothesis.

Also please hand in either your cluster squares overlay or donut maps.

Tracing paper, maps or A3 sheets available from L24

1st check Wednesday 14th May

Please hand the following items in an a named 4 ring binder. Please do not put your individual sheets of work inside plastic wallets.
