2A and S4 have been looking at Worldometer, a website that gives a running total of many vital statistics.
Unlike a textbook, which prints information that very quickly become outdated., this site shows information changing before our eyes-eg we can see the numbers of births and deaths rise inexorably; we see the number of cars manufactured per year..and the number of bicycles.
What makes this interesting is trying to read behind the statistics..how do we know these numbers-who counts the number of lightning strikes each year?
who measured the mass of the Earth? How?
What is your reaction to these statistics?
How reliable is the data?
Take one statistic and use the comments feature to explain why you find it interesting and thought provoking.
