DATA POWER A computing resource for 9-13 year olds Supported by:
UNIT 1 Thinking about data
WHAT IS DATA? Data is a collection of facts which can be used to calculate, analyse or plan something. There are different types of data such as numbers, dates, text, images and sound.
WHAT ACTIVITIES DO YOU DO EACH DAY? Caring for others Using a tablet or computer Doing homework Playing with friends After-school clubs and activities Attending school Using a mobile Travelling to and from school Helping at home Sleeping Eating
HOW LONG DO YOU SPEND DOING DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES?
WAYS OF PRESENTING DATA Bar chart Pie chart Line graph Table Activity Sleeping At school Going to after-school club Playing with friends ... Daily time use (hours) 9 7 1 2 ...
THINKING ABOUT TIME USE DATA What differences are there between your time use and that of other people in the class? What might be the reasons for these differences? Do you think this time use data might be different in other classes in the school, for example in a class of younger children? How might time use vary in different parts of the UK, for example in urban and rural areas? What similarities and differences do you think there might be between our daily time use, and that of young people in other parts of the world?
UNIT 2 Data about Young Lives
WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO WELL IN LIFE? Think Pair Share
SHARING OUT THE MONEY Education Health care Transport Leisure facilities Looking after the environment Caring for people Keeping people safe Housing Access to water and sanitation Your idea
WHAT IS YOUNG LIVES? Young Lives is an international research project looking at how poverty is affecting children s lives. It is a led by a team in the Department of International Development at The University of Oxford in the UK. Researchers have followed the lives of nearly 12,000 children in four different countries (Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam) for 15 years, from 2000 to 2015.
WHAT IS YOUNG LIVES? The researchers have collected a lot of data about the children s lives. They have also interviewed the children and some of their families. This is Luz, one of the children interviewed in the project. She is from Peru.
WHERE IN THE WORLD? UK Viet Nam India Ethiopia Peru Can you locate the UK, Ethiopia, India, Peru and Viet Nam on a world map?

HUNG VIET NAM I want to go to school to have more knowledge. I know that if I can study well, I will have a better life later.
LIEN VIET NAM My favourite subjects are drawing and English.
THINKING ABOUT YOUNG LIVES What similarities and differences are there between the lives of these children and your own life? What similarities and differences are there between the lives of these children? Are there any differences between the lives of the two children from each country? What do you think might be the reasons for any differences? What do you think might be the best areas to spend money on in any of these children s communities? Ravi doesn t go to school. Does this mean that more money should be spent in his community on schools and teachers than on other things?
INVESTIGATING TIME USE Sleeping Work for pay outside of the household Attending school Tasks for family farms or business Studying outside of school Caring for others Domestic tasks Play or leisure activities
THINKING ABOUT TIME USE What similarities and differences in time use are there between children in urban and rural areas, and between boys and girls in each of the four countries? Do you think that all children in each of the countries will have the same time use? What similarities and differences are there between your time use and daily life, and that of these young people? What do you think might be the reasons for any of these similarities and differences? Do you think the differences are fair?

WHAT DOES INEQUALITY MEAN? We can think of inequality as the difference between the things which some groups of people have, compared to other people. It is a bit like looking at how a big a slice of cake one person has, compared to another.
THINKING ABOUT INEQUALITY Inequality is not just about how money is shared between and within countries. There can also be inequality in the kinds of opportunities people have in life.
