Lesson Plan Data Data Visualisation Visualisation Duration: 50 mins
Data Visualisation Displaying information well can change the meaning of a graph
Data Visualisation The following two graphs present the same data. Which looks nicer? Which is easier to read? Which is simpler? Which year had the most over-25 students enrol in college? How are the numbers changing with time?
AGE STRUCTURE OF COLLEGE ENROLMENT Under 25 Over 25 28 29.2 32.8 33 33.6 72 70.8 67.2 67 66.4 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976

General discussion Which visualisation was the most interactive/well presented/understandable? Did any of the visualisations help you understand something you didn t know? When using the tools, did anything surprise you? What kind of information would be best shown on a graph? What kind of information would be best shown on a map? What kind of information would be best shown in a network like the Harry Potter tool? Why did the London Tube map use an animation?
Data Visualisation If you don t select the right method to show your information (data gathered), you run the risk of people not understanding the results correctly.
