NCES: Create a Graph
|
Student ActivityThroughout previous weeks, students have gathered data from an experiment investigating the effect of concentration of fertiliser on plant growth. In today’s lesson, students use the ‘create a graph’ website to present their experimental results. Students must decide which type of graph is most appropriate for displaying their data, input their data, and create a scientifically accurate graph. They then print their graph to be used in their experimental reports.
