📊 Graphing Distance vs. Crust Age
MS-ESS2-3
Submission Required
Students create a hand-drawn line graph in their research notebook plotting distance from the mid-ocean ridge (cm) on the x-axis and relative crust age (using their class scale) on the y-axis. They use rulers for precise scaling and label axes with units and titles. Students add a second visual element (color bands or symbols) to represent magnetic striping symmetry on both sides of the ridge.
