Table 1 (Quantitative Data): Lifting Time of Different Masses of Water in Each Trail
Description:

1. The fist column is the data of three different masses of water in grams.
2. The three columns on the right are data of time in seconds for lifting each water mass
to the same height in three trials.

Data Processing
Level 8: Correctly collect, organize and present data in numerical and/or visual forms
❏ Have calculation statement.
❏ Have calculation formula.
❏ Have sample calculation that shows all work, units, and identifies final answer(s).

- Calculation(s) statement: In the first table above, the time lengths required for lifting three
masses of water in three trials has been recorded. Here, the average values of lifting time for
each water mass need to be calculated.
- Formula: Average lifting time of each water mass = Sum of three lifting time lengths from
three trials divide by 3
- Sample calculation:
- Average lifting time of 500 g water = (11.53+8.97+11.67) ➗ 3 = 10.72 s
- Average lifting time of 2500 g water = (18.64+16.85+17.63) ➗ 3 = 17.71 s
- Average lifting time of 4500 g water = (19.70+21.52+20.09) ➗ 3 = 20.44 s

Data Presentation
Level 5: Correctly collect, organize and present data in numerical and/or visual forms
❏ Correct graph(s) type(s) chosen for type of data collected
❏ Attempt at appropriate title and appropriate axes labels for graph(s)
❏ Outline each table and graph in 2 sentences.
❏ General: add tables/graphs as needed

Table 1 and graph 1 : Variation of average lifting time against masses of water

Description:

1. The table and the line graph indicate the variation of average lifting time against masses
of water.
2. The data in the left column of the table is the data of tree different masses of water
masses, and the data in the right column are average time lengths for lifting each water
mass.
3. The vertical and horizontal axes of the line graph are average lifting time in seconds and
masses of water in grams respectively.
