Section 3.7 How the Strands Work Together

The power of this framework lies in how the strands integrate and reinforce each other. A typical data science investigation might involve:
Step 1 - Strand A: Considering ethical implications and developing investigative questions
Step 2 - Strand B: Collecting and preparing appropriate data
Step 3 - Strand C: Analyzing data using appropriate tools and techniques
Step 4 - Strand D: Interpreting results and considering their validity and limitations
Step 5 - Strand E: Communicating findings effectively to drive action
This integrated approach ensures students don’t just learn isolated skills, but develop the complete toolkit needed for ethical, effective data science practice.
