Applied - Representations of data, Correlation and Constant acceleration
infoWhy this? Representations such as box plots, histograms and scatter diagrams reveal shape, spread, outliers and patterns quickly. Correlation helps students quantify and interpret how two variables vary together while staying alert to the difference between association and causation. Constant-acceleration models introduce the key links between displacement, velocity, acceleration and time in a clean, usable form.
scheduleWhy now? Sequenced later in the year, this lets students interpret these diagrams with stronger statistical insight rather than treating them as drawing exercises. Once students can summarise single datasets, they can move on to paired data and relationships between variables. Constant acceleration comes soon after mechanics modelling because they provide the first standard setting in which those conventions are applied.
