This learning resource focuses on tracking and interpreting temperature data through graphical representation. Students participate in a hands-on science activity by recording daily temperatures and creating bar graphs to visualize their findings. The resource includes vocabulary relevant to data analysis, instructions on how to interpret graphs, and clear steps for comparing temperature changes over a week's span. Through practice questions and self-assessment opportunities, students learn to extract information from visual data, analyze it, and relate it to real-world implications, such as planning outdoor activities based on weather conditions. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance students' data literacy and understanding of scientific concepts related to temperature and weather.
