Take students’ understanding of bar graphs and line plots to the next level. This lesson will encourage students to think about how graphs are designed and the questions we can ask and answer about data presented in graphs.

Get your students familiar with talking about the data they see in bar graphs. This lesson can stand alone or be used alongside the Organize Your Data lesson.

Graphs bring data to life and help us draw conclusions about the information. In this lesson, students will engage with three different kinds of graphs by asking and answering interpretive questions.

Your students will practice data collection and graphing while learning more about each other. Your data scientists will craft a survey question, collect data from the class, and then create a bar graph to represent their findings.
