Data Presentation Techniques

This slide show helps you put together different graphs to show your resultsBe careful, use your own data or the data provided.Presentation of good quality graphs and diagrams is importantTitled properly and labelled with annotations – ask yourself and write on the graph what the patterns are? What have you found it? Link your observations to the hypotheses.

Data Presentation Techniques:

1. Bi polar graphs (environmental quality)

2. Combined bi-polar graphs

3. Located Pictograms (tourist, vehicle and litter counts)

4. Annotated location map (management strategies)

5. Flow line maps (number plate survey)

6. Composite bar charts (questionnaire data)

7. Pie charts (questionnaire data)

8. Scatter graphs (tourist count, litter count and environmental quality)

9. Annotated Photographs

Data Presentation

Data presentation Method 1= Bi-Polar Graphs

For Environmental Assessment

Add a title, axis labels, colour and add up your scores to get a total.

2. Combined bi-polar graph

• Put the data for all 9 sites onto 1 graph by using crosses and join them up.

• Use a pencil – then add colour before doing the next site.

• Include a title, axis labels and a key for your 9 colours

Data Presentation

Data presentation Method 3= Located Pictograms.

Plot these onto a map of York.

For pedestrian numbers.

Data PresentationData presentation Method 4= Annotated Location Map and Pictogram

Annotated location map to show management strategies, tourist count and litter count at each site.

Annotate the information onto a map of Goatland.

Use a pictogram to show numbers of each strategy. Write on any key information.

You can do this all on one map or use 3 different maps-it's up to you.

Example

Village Centre (32)

Data PresentationData presentation Method 5= Flow Line Map

To show where people have travelled from usingthe number plate data.

The thicker the line = more people have travelled from that place.

Flow Line Map

1. Add a key2. Add a north arrow3. Add a scale line (2cm = 100km)4. Use the atlases to mark on where Goathland

and the 16 key places are located (use pencil)5. Complete your arrows using a ruler and pencil

then add colour.
