Key Aspects (1)
DCP Recording Raw Data
Processing Raw Data
Presenting Processed Data
Complete Records appropriate quantitative and associated data, including units and uncertainties where relevant
Processes the quantitative raw data correctly
Presents processed data appropriately and, where relevant, includes errors and uncertainties
You are marked on 3 components of data collection and processing (DCP): recording, processing and presenting

Key aspects of DCP(2)
1. Record data appropriately, noting uncertainties
2. Process correctly (descriptive statistics)
3. Present appropriately, including uncertainties
YOU must decide on the relevant data to be collected, and the range over which it will be collected
YOU must be able to draw your own data tables and graphs

Raw DataQuantitative
If data is extensive (e.g. Data Logger data), it may be placed in an appendix at the end of the report, such that the results section only includes the summary.
If raw data is brief it should all be included in the Results section.
Record data in a table which includes units and uncertainties (apparatus accuracy)
Qualitative
Mention observations
Record personal uncertainties and attempt to quantify them

To gain a complete for raw data presentation:
Data must be individually collected (though can be processed as class data)
Data must be sufficient to require a reasonably complex table
Uncertainties must be included in table headings, graph axes etc
Processing must be individual, justified, complete and appropriate

Significant figures
Should be:
At, and not beyond, the uncertainty value of the instrument
Consistent in terms of the decimal places
At the same level of accuracy in the processed data
Example: Ruler measurement of 3.5 mm, will have uncertainty of ± 0.05 (mathematically)/ ± scientifically, limit of instrument

Uncertainties – limitations of measurements
Biological uncertainties – associated with natural variation
Human errors (mistakes): systematic or random
Instrument uncertainties (absolute or systematic)
Inappropriate technique
Anomalous results

Biological Uncertainties
There is natural biological variation between individual specimens. Inevitable biological uncertainty can be minimised by:
Having a large sample
Random sampling
Select similar/ uniform organisms or biological material
Ensure sufficient repeats

![Page 14: Data Collection and Processing (DCP) 1. Key Aspects (1) DCPRecording Raw Data Processing Raw Data Presenting Processed Data CompleteRecords appropriate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f115503460f94c24645/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Instrument Uncertainties (1)
There is a sensible limit as to how accurate a measurement needs to be
The uncertainty must be based on what is being measured
Always use the most accurate apparatus available, and use it carefully and precisely
14
![Page 15: Data Collection and Processing (DCP) 1. Key Aspects (1) DCPRecording Raw Data Processing Raw Data Presenting Processed Data CompleteRecords appropriate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f115503460f94c24645/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Instrument Uncertainties (2)
Instrument uncertainty must be recorded in the raw data table
The number of significant figures matches with the uncertainty:
7.55 cm ± 0.5 cm is wrong7.50 cm ± 0.05 cm is correctStandard deviation can be used if the sample size is sufficient
15
![Page 16: Data Collection and Processing (DCP) 1. Key Aspects (1) DCPRecording Raw Data Processing Raw Data Presenting Processed Data CompleteRecords appropriate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f115503460f94c24645/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Estimated (Personal) uncertainties
Collecting observational data using live organisms has intrinsic limits to its precision. In such cases you should make a sensible estimated uncertainty.
E.g.1: monitored gill movements of a fish: uncertainty ± 1 bpm
E.g. 2: abdominal movements of a locust: uncertainty ± 2 bpm

Anomalous ResultsAnomalous: adjective: deviating from what is normal, standard or expected
These are values which don’t fit the general pattern or trend, or don’t fit the predicted line on a graph.
These values should be included in the raw data table, marked with an asterisk, and NOT included in data processing
The anomalous result should be included in the EVALUATION section.

Component 2 of DCP: Data Processing
Refer to and use P. 14 –19
Numerical processing – use of formulae and calculations
Simple descriptive statistics – mean, median, mode, standard deviation, standard error, assessment of normal distribution (confidence interval).
Simple statistical techniques: Student’s t-test, logistic regression, Chi-squared analysis, Mann-Whitney U-test, Wilcoxon Test

Numerical Processing of Raw Data
You must state and give an example of the formula used for basic calculations.
Your formula, and the calculation itself must be clear
Include units and maintain a uniform number of significant figures
Use of a table improves clarity

Numerical Processing of Raw Data
To estimate the rate of osmosis across the egg cell membrane (or the sweet potato cell membrane):
1.Calculate the % change in mass using the formula:
% change in mass = [initial mass – final mass / initial mass ] X 100
For an egg with initial mass of 75.45 g and final mass of 82.30 g (± 0.01g), % change in mass = (75.45g – 82.30g)/75.45g X 100
= + 9.1%20

Numerical Processing of Raw Data
To estimate the rate of osmosis across the egg cell membrane (or the sweet potato cell membrane):
RATE is how fast something is happening per unit time.
NB: Rate can be calculated from the slope of appropriately graphed data
Use the formula: rate of osmosis = [( % change in mass / duration of experiment) %h-1
= (9.1% / 24h) X 100 = 0.38%h-1

Basic Descriptive statistics: Standard
Deviation Standard Deviation is
measure of the variability (spread) in a set of data
In a normally distributed data set, 68% of all data values will fall inside one s of the mean, and 95% of all data within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Graphs used for data presentation
1.Line graph (most common)
2.Scatter graph (Excel: X-Y scatter – commonly used to make line graphs!!!)
3.Bar graph (Excel: Column or Bar)
4.Histogram (Excel: Column/clustered)
5.Pie Chart
6.Kite diagram

Selecting the right type of graph
Use a line graph when your experiment employed independent and dependent variables
Use a scatter graph when you are looking for a potential correlation between two sets of data, neither of which was manipulated
Use a bar graph when there is no relationship between the bars and thus a gap between them
Use a histogram when each bar is directly related to the bars on either side, and thus illustrates a distribution pattern
Pie charts are used to show a proportion of the whole (ecology)
Kite diagrams are used to show distibution across a region (ecology)

Processed data is plotted on the graph
Independent variable is always on the X-axis
Dependent data is always on the Y-axis
Typically, you will plot mean/median data and also include uncertainty
The axes should be exactly labelled with the same titles used for the column headings
The graph must be titled fully and precisely

Data collection and processing
Process the uncertainties involved to give an uncertainty for each measurement and an overall estimate of uncertainty.
The same degree of accuracy should be used for all data.
Draw carefully labeled, relevant diagrams, graphs, pictograms including error bars where possible. Ensure that labels are clear, correct and include units and uncertainties.
Process relevant data from graphs or diagrams e.g. gradient, percentage cover.
Statistically analyse the data if relevant e.g. means, standard distributions, t-test.
