Data/Graphs

This is a worksheet and practice in collecting data and representing it in bar graph form, and is designed to help students understand the fascinating role of genetics in determining eye color.

In this activity, students will explore the concept of genetics as a special code that influences our physical appearance, including eye color. They will learn that genes act as tiny instructions within our bodies, inherited from our parents at birth. This hands-on activity and reading passage will help students discover the magic behind eye color inheritance.

Students will answer 12 questions based on bar graphs and pictographs.  Key phrases used are, how fewer, how many more, and what is the difference.

Students will answer 20 questions based on bar graphs or pictographs.  The last three questions have the students create a pictograph based on a bar graph.

Students will measure common objects to the nearest inch and then input them in a table.  Or you can just use the table with common objects.  Once they have the data, they will use a number line divided into quarters and create a line plot.  When finished they will answer some questions based on the line plot.  Answer key is provided.

Students will practice measuring objects to the nearest quarter inch.  They will also analyze line plots.  This is designed to reteach the concept for those students who are struggling.

Students will practice measuring objects with quarter-inch measurements.  They will also practice creating line plots based on measurements and tables.

This is a method for your students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding about reading and interpreting pictographs. This is an Easter Egg pictograph worksheet that contains six questions.

This is a two-page document. The first page tells a short story and students will graph the numbers in the story. Students will then answer three questions, two of which help them interpret the results. The second page is a movement activity in which students will first draw depictions of their four favorite summertime activities and then they will go around the classroom asking their classmates which one of the four they like best. They can use tally marks to keep track. Lastly, the students will create a bar graph of the results and then answer two questions analyzing their data.

In this Earth Science activity, students will gain a deeper understanding of the following Vocabulary: seismologist, seismograph, seismogram, epicenter, P-Wave, S-Wave, Wave Amplitude, Magnitude, and Richter/Moment Scale.

Students will create a digital spreadsheet that will help them calculate data they gathered by looking at actual seismograms. Technology is incorporated throughout the lesson.
