How It Works
Students use provided real-world or real-world style datasets to:
- Create multiple graph types (line graphs, double line graphs, bar graphs, double bar graphs, scatter plots, and pie charts)
- Identify patterns and trends in scientific data
- Compare relationships between variables across different systems
- Analyze environmental, biological, and physical science data
- Use graphs to support explanations and scientific reasoning
Each investigation guides students through:
Reading data → Graphing data → Interpreting patterns → Explaining scientific concepts
