Present Data: Seeds
EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
Students use a table of recorded plant growth data to complete an empty line graph and answer questions about the growth of radish and kale seeds over nine days. Designed for students in years 5 and 6.
Learning Objectives:
- Interpret and transfer data from a table to a line graph.
- Analyse trends and compare changes over time.
- Develop data-handling and critical-thinking skills.
How the Activity Works:
Students examine a table showing the growth of a radish seed and a kale seed over nine days. They use this data to plot points and draw lines on an empty graph, accurately representing each plant’s growth. After completing the graph, students answer questions such as identifying when the kale became taller than the radish and which plant reached 4 cm first. This activity reinforces students’ ability to interpret data and analyse patterns in real-world contexts.
