1 Data Processing DNA: Question Your Answer Describe what a chart is. What is a formula? What is pressure? What is a line graph used for? Teacher Guidance: This lesson is aimed to be used in a KS3 (Yr 7-9) Computer Science lesson, though could be used as part of a science curriculum. You need to have printed pages: DNA Purpose of lesson: Get students to download and process real live data in CSV format. They will then import this into Excel and produce graphs. They can then publish them on your schools twitter feed with their own conclusions. LO: Explain how to process data by creating graphs in Excel.

2 Data Processing DNA: Question Your Answer Describe what a chart is. Visual representation of data from a model. What is a formula? Specific instructions for carrying out a calculation. What is pressure? Pressure is the force per unit area. What is a line graph used for? A line graph is often used to show a trend over time. It is plotted as a series of points. The ends of the line graph do not have to join to the axes.
