📊 Turning Potato Data into Bar Graphs

Content Expertise Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Submission Required

The teacher models how to turn plant height measurements and leaf counts into a large class bar graph using chart paper and sticky notes. Students then create their own simple bar graph in their Potato Investigation Research Notebook using crayons, rulers, and pre-drawn axes templates. A short movement break has students act out being “growing bars” to compare heights physically before drawing.
