Using data to support conclusions is the focus of this Grade 6 Computer Science worksheet for the Data and Information topic. Students practise examining tables and graphs, identifying relevant evidence, and using analysis to choose or explain a conclusion supported by the information shown. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Connect data, evidence, and conclusions

The lesson helps students develop the reasoning that comes after reading a data display. Students define evidence, conclusion, and analysis, then apply those ideas when interpreting information presented in a table or graph. Rather than choosing a statement simply because it sounds reasonable, students practise looking back at the data and deciding which conclusion is actually supported.

This creates a clear connection between observing information and making a claim. Students also explain how analysis of data provides support for a conclusion, reinforcing the idea that evidence should come directly from what the display shows.

Practice across different response formats

The worksheet includes multiple-choice questions, true/false questions, short-answer responses, a dialogue, matching, a cloze passage, a labeled diagram, a reading passage, and an essay. These tasks give students opportunities to recognize key vocabulary, interpret tables and graphs, select supported conclusions, and explain their reasoning in writing.

The variety of response types also lets teachers see whether students can transfer the same evidence-based reasoning from quick recognition tasks to more detailed explanations.

Teacher support for the lesson

A separate Teacher Guide PDF is included with learning objectives, teaching tips, discussion questions, and common mistakes. These supports can help you introduce the relationship between evidence and conclusions, guide discussion about what counts as useful information, and address misunderstandings about how analysis supports a claim.

Flexible use in your data unit

Use this Grade 6 data analysis worksheet after direct instruction, during independent practice, for homework, as a review activity, or as an informal assessment. The dialogue and reading passage can support class discussion, while the short-answer, diagram, and essay tasks provide opportunities for students to explain why a particular conclusion is supported by the data.

By connecting data displays, evidence, analysis, claims, and conclusions in one focused lesson, the resource helps students practise an essential Data and Information skill: using what the data actually shows to justify what they say about it.
