Students will make place mats with sections to set each different kind of apple on. Teacher cuts up apples into slices before this activity. Teacher hands out apple slices, one per student for each kind of apple, and places them on their place mat. Students will graph or chart their data using whichever method they choose. Students will share their information and which type of chart or graph they used.
Teacher leads students in making a class list of data.
Students will help teacher make a class graph or chart from the class data. Teacher will go through any graphs or charts that were not used by anyone. Teacher will hand out a worksheet designed to interpret the data achieved by both class and individual charts. Students' personal graphs and charts can be evaluated by making sure their data was appropriately represented. They will all have to participate in order to have data for the class graph or chart.
