For example
Asking 10 children out of the whole school about lunch is taking a sample.
In Grade 5
Children survey part of a class and discuss whether it represents everyone fairly.
Watch out for
Children often think any small group makes a fair sample. A sample only works when it looks like the whole group.
Say it at home
Ask whether asking only your family would fairly represent the whole street.
