Short answer: A school investigation is a small survey. Choose one clear question, ask about 20 students, count the answers, make a simple chart, and write a short report. I do not know your school’s real answers, so do not copy numbers as real data—use your own results.

___ students chose breaks.
The most popular answer was ___. The least popular answer was ___.

Example only — imaginary numbers, not real data
I asked 20 students what they like most about school. Friends were the most popular answer: 7 students chose friends. Breaks were next with 5 students. Four students chose sports/PE. Two chose lessons. One chose clubs, and one chose lunch. In conclusion, many students like friends and breaks. I think this is because friends make school fun and breaks give students time to rest.
Check: \(7+5+4+2+1+1=20\). Good.
If you tell me your topic and how many students you asked, I can help you fill in the report.
