Learning how to interact with data is an important real world skill for students.
Graphing for Kids also introduces students to horizontal and vertical bar graphs. Following step-by-step instructions students will draw a chart, input data, and make a graph. In this app kids will learn how to make bar graphs, line graphs, circle graphs and pictographs. With this app students make charts and create their own graphs. You can see an example here.Graphing for Kids is an iPad app for students who want to explore how to input data and make charts. Which plant grew fastest? Which plant grew tallest? Why did the kale not grow at all for 3 weeks? What might be the reasons for the differences since they were both in the same garden with the same sunlight and rainfall? We published our spreadsheets and pasted the links to Google classroom. The graph made it easy to analyze and compare the plants’ growth. Finally, the students clicked the bars to change their colors (use the paint bucket button). Then we inserted the chart into our spreadsheet and moved it so it wasn’t covering up our data. I showed them how to use the Customization tools to change the title and labels on each axis. After entering our data, we highlighted it and clicked the graph button. I explained that they would need to put their units of measurement as a label on the graph instead of in the data cells, otherwise the graph wouldn’t recognize the numbers (for example, put 5 instead of 5cm). Would that affect the way the graph looked? (It didn’t, necessarily, because of the customization features under Chart Types). Should we put the plants in Column A and the dates in Row 1 or the reverse? (Most put plants in Column A). Before they recorded their data, we discussed how it should be organized. I gave them each a blank Google sheets template in Google classroom. They had their data, and now they were going to analyze their data. Over a 4-week period, they have measured and compared the growth of kale and brussels sprouts in the Trevvett Learning Garden. Hufnell’s class learned how to graph their plant measurements using Google sheets. Third graders at Trevvett Elementary have been studying plants (SO元.5), measurement (SO元.9a), and graphing (SO元.17), so today students in Ms.
