Joanne McGrath worked with one hundred students in Grade 6. She made a School Transportation Survey from them.

    Here are questions and results:

⒈ How do you usually come to school in the morning?

Taxi: 2              Car: 50              Bus: 30

Bicycle: 5            Walking: 13

⒉ How do you usually go home after school?

Taxi: 2              Car: 38              Bus: 39

Bicycle: 5            Walking: 16

⒊ If you go to school in a car, how many people are there in it?

2 passengers: 17      3 passengers: 20

4 passengers: 11      5 passengers: 2

⒋ Do you walk, ride your bike, or skateboard to school when the weather is warm?

Walk: 30             Ride a bike: 55       Skate: 15

    We found that collecting data was very difficult, because few kids had a concept of seasons. The trend(趋势) for the older students, though, showed that they walked and used bikes more often in September, May and June.
