The dataset provides information about 780 of the convicts transported to Australia on the First Fleet ships 'Alexander', 'Charlotte', 'Lady Penrhyn', 'Friendship', 'Prince of Wales' and 'Scarborough' in 1788. The dataset includes information on items such as the convict's name, occupation, crime, date of trial and term of transportation. The dataset is in MS Excel format. Students investigate and retell the stories of the convicts on the First Fleet to gain an understanding of the first European settlement of Australia. They present their stories in a print or digital journal as well as a living history tableau. Students develop their knowledge of statistical measures, such as mean and median, using the age of convicts from The First Fleet - data set. They use the data to construct tables and graphs, and to complete data investigations. They complete these activities either by hand or with the further use of ICT such as MS Excel. Students create, represent and analyse graphical data using the Australian Bureau of Statistics 'Average weekly earnings by industry and sex' dataset for the latest year of available data. Students work in groups to explore different representations of the same data, via graphing and then analysing other students' work. They interpret data and then use it to support a written argument. Graphing can be done either by hand or with the use of technology such as Microsoft Excel. Students analyse the Australian Bureau of Statistics dataset 'Unemployment by sex since 1994'. They use the data to construct comparative graphs; make interpretations about the presented data; and make predictions for further analysis. They complete these tasks either by hand or with the use of technology such as Microsoft Excel. Students explore 'Solar report (Vic)', a Department of Sustainability Victoria dataset showing the savings achieved by using solar hot water. They undertake an investigation to record, sort and graph selections of the data, including finding the mean and median of their sorted data. They then report their results. The results are then collated and the students interpret the whole dataset. Students complete the tasks either by hand or with the use of technology such as Microsoft Excel. This unit can be undertaken on its own or with S3257 'Solar hot water report data investigation: part 1 - unit of work'.

S3257 Solar hot water report data investigation: part 1 - unit of work
Students explore 'Solar report (Vic)', a Department of Sustainability Victoria dataset showing the savings achieved by using solar hot water. Students undertake a data investigation, analyse and represent their findings, and draw and justify their conclusions in a presentation. Lastly, they reflect on their learning. The analysis and presentation can be done either by hand or with the use of technology such as graphing calculators, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint. This unit can be undertaken on its own or with S3258 'Solar hot water report data investigation: part 2 - unit of work'.

11594 Australia welcomes you - unit of work
Students investigate the ways in which Australia has been represented as a tourist destination in the past. Following detailed analysis of current visitor arrival data, students design their own promotion campaign to advertise Australia overseas. They explore the 'See Australia!' poster collection from the National Library of Australia, which illustrates how Australia and the states and territories were depicted in travel posters from 1930 to 1959. Then, using the data visualisation tool DataGenie, they analyse current data on international visitors to determine criteria to use as a basis for their own advertising campaign in another country. Students complete a data investigation by planning and undertaking surveys as well as representing data and reporting the results. Data representation includes constructing, reading, interpreting and making connections between tables and graphs. Students use class-based data and explore M007946 'International visitors to Australia - dataset' using the data visualisation tool DataGenie. Students can complete the activities by hand or with further use of ICT. The dataset provides statistics about average weekly total cash earnings for males and females in 18 different Australian industries for the latest year of available data. It is periodically updated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The dataset is in Microsoft Excel format. The dataset provides statistics about the population of Australia in terms of age and sex since 1955 to the latest year of available data. It is made available and periodically updated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The dataset is in MS Excel format. The dataset provides statistics about unemployment numbers for males and females in Australia since 1994 to the latest year of available data. It is periodically updated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The dataset is in Microsoft Excel format. The dataset provides statistics about the number of Australian exporters and export transactions, including the value of exports for the country of destination. It is made available and periodically updated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The dataset is in MS Excel format. The dataset provides statistics about the estimated resident population, median age and sex ratio from the top 50 countries of birth for the latest year of available data. It is periodically updated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The dataset is in MS Excel format. The dataset provides statistics about crimes reported by victims from 2000 to the latest year of available data. It is periodically updated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The dataset is in MS Excel format. The dataset provides statistics about the number of deaths in motor vehicle accidents for males and females aged between 15 and 24 years of age for each state and territory, and for Australia, from 1988 to the latest year of available data. It is periodically updated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The dataset is in MS Excel format. The dataset provides statistics about children's participation in cultural and leisure activities since 2003 to the latest year of available data in Australia. It is periodically updated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The dataset is in MS Excel format. This dataset is sourced from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and an international not-for-profit organisation, The Climate Group. The data appears in a report called 'Solar report (Vic)'. It shows the greenhouse gas emissions that households in Victorian regions would save and the percentage of energy savings on their hot water bill if they had a solar water heater compared to a gas or electric water heater for an average family. The figures in 'Solar report (Vic)' have been averaged for a one-year period for the latest year of available data. The dataset is in Microsoft Excel format. The report is hosted, managed and periodically updated by Sustainability Victoria. The dataset provides statistics on international tourists visiting Australia. Students use the data visualisation tool, DataGenie, to explore international tourism statistics from 1999 to the latest available data. They investigate questions such as 'Who is coming?, Where do they come from?, Why do they come?, Where do they go?, What do they do? and How much do they spend?' Using DataGenie, students can view the data in a range of interactive visual formats, graphs, animations and maps. The data is adapted for educational use from responses to Tourism Research Australia's comprehensive quarterly International Visitor Survey (IVS).
