Module 2: Meet DataFrames and Series
Series = one column of data, DataFrame = table of many columns
Real-life example: Series is like a grocery list, DataFrame is a full menu
Learn to create and understand both in Pandas
Activity: Make a mini table with paper showing a DataFrame
Module 3: Reading and Writing Data
How to load data from files like CSV and Excel
Saving your cleaned-up work back to files
Real-life example: Opening a messy report and fixing it
Activity: Open a simple CSV in Pandas and print it
Module 4: Cleaning Data Made Easy
Handle missing, duplicate, or incorrect data
Real-life example: Fixing spelling errors in a class list
Why clean data is important before analysis
Activity: Use a dataset and clean up missing values
Module 5: Sorting, Filtering & Selecting Data
Sort data by values, pick rows or columns, apply conditions
Real-life example: Find top scorers in a test result sheet
Learn how to filter only what you want

Group data by categories and get useful summaries
Real-life example: Grouping students by grade and finding averages
Pandas functions like
groupby()anddescribe()Activity: Group a dataset and show summary stats
Module 7: Real-World Uses of Pandas
Used in data science, analytics, finance, healthcare
Real-life example: A company using Pandas to track sales
Why analysts love Pandas for big projects
