Charts and Graphs by B. Guffin & N. Poppen from South Dakota Department of Education

http://www.state.sd.us/deca/DDN4Learning/ThemeUnits/Charts/index.htm

Don't miss exploring this outstanding learning site and its links collection to websites that involve creating, reading and interpreting data using charts and graphs.

 

Complete a Charts and Graphs WebQuest. 
Follow or adapt the procedures that you find at the following webQuest sites:

1) Charts and Graphs http://fc.portage.k12.wi.us/~caulumj/lesson1.html (Grade 9) by J. Caulum

2) Charts and Graphs: A WebQuest using Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint http://ib005.k12.sd.us/Excel%20WebQuest/charts_and_graphs.htm by I. Benson

3) Graphs and Charts…What are They Good For? http://students.luther.edu/~jolivean/webquest.htm

4) Graphs Galore (Grade 5) http://bg016.k12.sd.us/graphs_webquest.htm

 

After visiting several of the websites, complete one or more of the following activities.

 

Make Your First Graph! You can connect to some great data and content ideas at sites like (1) Real Time Data Sites (http://k12science.ati.stevens-tech.edu/realtimedatasites.html), (2) U.S. Census Bureau (http://www.census.gov/), (3) Weekly Nielson Ratings (http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/TV/top10/content.html), and (4) FedStats Home Page (http://www.fedstats.gov/). Select a subject for which you will collect and display data. Or gather your own original data - - such as finding out how many and what type and color of vehicles pass by your house or park at your school. Then present your findings with a graph(s). Select the best type graph for your data. Can you incorporate pictures? Can you effectively use color? Extend the project by collecting data at different times of the day, on different days of the week, and by also identifying the types of vehicles?
