| | Females: 11.11% | 3 |
| Wind energy | Males: 11.11% | 3 |
| | Females: 3.70% | 1 |
| Hydro energy | Males: 18.51% | 5 |
| | Females: 3.70% | 1 |
| 2) What type of energy is most complicated | ||
| a) Solar energy | Males: 74.07% | 20 |
| | Females: 11.11% | 3 |
| b) Hydro energy | Males: 3.70% | 1 |
| | Females: 3.70% | 1 |
| c) Wind energy | Males: 3.70% | 1 |
| | Females: 3.70% | 1 |
| 3) What type of energy do you think is most sustainable? | ||
| a) Solar energy | Males: 70.37% | 19 |
| | Females: 11.11% | 3 |
| b) Hydro energy | Males: 7.41% | 2 |
| | Females: 3.70% | 1 |
| c) Wind energy | Males: 3.70% | 1 |
| | Females: 3.70% | 1 |
C) Presenting the findings in a table form
Once the data are ready, enter them into the tables. You will then look at the statistics and try to draw certain conclusions from them.
Question 1
Table 1: What type of energy do you think is most efficient
| Energy | Males | Females | Total | ||

TO BE PASTED IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL BLOG
Think about the project tasks that you have done during the week, and write down your thoughts.
Write at least 4 sentences for every question.
| Facts What I know about surveys They are not easy to conduct and it is hard to analyze the results. | Ideas What I think about surveys I used to think conducting surveys was easy but now, I know its very hard |
| Learning Issues What I found out in the survey A lot of people think more about solar energy than hydro and wind energy.
| Action Plan What I can do after the survey I can do my work with more knowledge of what others think about energy. |
