Creating a survey using Google forms (data collection and analysis)

A survey is used to collect information on a research topic.
A survey can provide data (number form) that can be presented in graphs and analysed.
In PYPX you may create a short survey to share with people in class or as agreed with your teacher.
You need good survey questions. Try starting survey questions with What, How, Who, Why, Would, When, Do
Choose the right type of survey question so that you will get good data to analyse
When you get your results take time to look at them in details. What do the results show? Did you notice something new? unexpected? trends?
