Marble is a virtual desktop globe and world atlas which can be used to create resources on physical geography. It has many digital maps of the Earth. These maps provide information about physical geography of the Earth, including topography, rainfall, climate etc. It also has ‘historical’ maps which give the information about the Earth at various points in time in the past, relating to political regimes at that time.

You can create a text document resource, and use images of the maps you are working on, by using the Screenshot application, for any of the physical geography features like temperature, rainfall etc.
You can create a text document resource, and use images of the maps you are working on, by using the Screenshot application, for any of the physical geography features like temperature, rainfall etc. You can see the 'Precipitation (July)' and Precipitation (December) maps. You can create a set of questions based on the observations of these maps, for instance - Is there any pattern in the rain heavy zones? Does it depend on the Latitudes? Why is the rain heavy in the south west coastal part of India and less in the Deccan? Why is there a vertical strip adjacent to to the South West coastal area (interior Karnataka) where there is very less rain? These questions can serve as a basis for discussions in the class.

While conducting the action research, you will collect data from your observations, interviews, group discussions etc. You may even conduct a survey. Quantitative data collected from the action research can be tabulated and analysed using the spreadsheet software, such as [[Learn LibreOffice Calc|LibreOffice Calc]].
Supposing you have conducted a survey and gathered responses from your classmates or teachers or community members on a topic. You may have closed ended questions, requiring respondents to select one of multiple choices. You can record this information in a spreadsheet, using one column for one data element. For instance, the name of the respondent can be one column, demographic information (age, sex, religion etc) can be entered, one element per column. Responses chosen in closed ended questions can be entered, one question/response per column.
This can be analysed using the 'Pivot Table' feature of the spreadsheet, to derive multi-variate tables.
