GOAL
Create a questionnaire, and use the results to
answer a question.
Samaras Solution
I need to choose a method for collecting data about
Internet use.
I cant observe the students since they use the
Internet in the evenings at their own homes.
I cant do an experiment.
I dont have time for individual interviews.
I can use a questionnaire.

2. Would you use a questionnaire to gather data to
answer each of these questions? Why or why not?
a) Do Grade 6 students like to play video games?
If so, which games?
b) Can people who can jump farther also jump
higher?
c) How many hours each week do your classmates
watch television?
d) What was the highest and lowest temperature in
your community each year since 2000?
Communication Tip
When you gather
information to look
at something closely,
you are conducting
a survey. An opinion
survey can be done
by talking to people
or by having people
complete a
questionnaire. A
traffic survey can be
done by observing
and counting traffic.
