This Science video introduces teachers to the skills needed to help the pupils draw accurate and well-structured bar charts in Science lessons. It explores how to record discontinuous data, understand the purpose of bar charts and guide the pupils in plotting data accurately on graph paper. The video demonstrates each step, from setting up axes and choosing scales to labelling bars and ensuring consistency in bar widths and gaps.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Science Working scientifically resources. It simplifies the process, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to support the pupils in representing data clearly and effectively in lessons like the ones below.

• Science, Year 3, Plants: Plan reproduction, Lesson 4: Flowers.
