Q1 Clue Collections: Classmate Clues

13. Data Detectives

Collecting Clues, Building Evidence

Time to start your detective work! First, you’ll gather clues by interviewing students who had collectibles in the case, what they were, and which ones have gone missing. Then, you’ll turn those clues into evidence by recording them in digital form, ensuring every detail is organized and ready for the investigation.

Creating Your Survey and Collecting Your Data

Step 1. Think about the detective work you have to start with; what is important to know right away? Brainstorm with a partner or as a class, following your teacher's instructions. These items will then be added to your survey for the initial data collection process.

Step 2. Play the appropriate video below on how to create, send, and view your data. 

Step 3. Now that you have watched the video, it is time to create your own form as a data-collection survey. You may want to replay the video or refer to the short instructions above as you build your survey to assist you with the process.

Step 4: You will now collect the data for your survey. To do this, you will complete the survey you created for each student, which is linked on the Interviews slide below.  

  • If you have a detective partner, consider splitting the interview process (meaning each of you would complete the survey to collect interview data 6 times).
  • Once on the slide, select the classmate's name, then tap the play button to see if their collectable item is missing.
  • Select this 13.Q1 Collectables Interview Slide to complete this task.
  • Follow the overview instructions for either Google or Microsoft: 13.Q1 Creating and Using a Data Collection Survey to use your survey to collect interview responses.
