Quartz is a frozen tropical planet with different regions land, fire and water. Quartz is a rock giant. This planet is very far away in another galaxy. Lots of beautiful animals live on Quartz, they are made of crystals and are shiny like the sun. Quartz is very ātaahua. You can get there by portal on Mars. Lots of people go to Quartz to explore and relax. You can study plants and animals and  also the taiao on Quartz. Nothing bad can happen on Quartz because the animals are harmless.

My question was: What activities do you do to relax?

I want to investigate how people relax in room 7 during their own time.

These are the options the children chose from

Watching tv

Playing outside

Resting

Doing exercise

Spending time with friends and family

Spending time with pets

Spending time on devices

Reading

Doing hobbies

Hunting and fishing

Other

I collected the data and put the results on a dot plot.

Here is my how I collected the data.

In my survey I found out that lots of people enjoyed
hunting and fishing and other activities.
The least favourite thing was resting. Playing outside,
doing exercise, spending  time with friends and family,
and pets all had the same amount. There are lots of different
things they like to do in room 7 to relax.
