Planning/adapting

This lesson involves discussion and designing a survey around chocolate-eating habits to discover students’ collective purchasing power.

Delivery alternatives:

• Split the activity across two lessons: lesson one focuses on survey design and testing and lesson two on analysis and presentation of results. Option to collect data during break (outside the tuckshop, for example).

• Shorten the whole activity to one 50-minute lesson: cover more in whole-class discussion; simplify survey to fewer questions with fewer decisions to make and simpler presentation options.
