Bar Graphs Lesson Plan
Bar Graphs Lesson Plan
(intro)
Relevance Understanding graphs and data is a crucial skill to have for each
individual. Often, relevant scientific information that is important to the
general public will be displayed via graphs and charts. Students must
understand how to interpret these and this lesson gives students a
great opportunity to do so. Additionally, students will have a chance
to explore how to create a graph; this act will further their
understanding and knowledge regarding graphs and data collection
as they will be able to showcase that they truly understand what they
are doing. Taking a modern stance on this topic, various forms of
virtual graphing and technological graphs/ charts are extremely
prevalent in modern society and students must understand how to
interpret the data that is shown.
Essential Question(s) How can one represent data? What is data and how is it collected?
What components are part of a bar graph? Why are graphs important
(for communicating information)?
Lesson Introduction (hook): Student will know:

● Students will each have their own
“character” within the game that
they can utilize for the lesson/
activity we are about to continue
with. They will create these
characters with the website and
share them on a shared Google
Doc that students will have access
to. (Perhaps even Google
Classroom or even Teams has
options for this!)
To Use Creativity:
- Students will be creating their bar-
graphs and have some creative
freedom.
- Eventually, students will be
creating their own data collecting
questions.
- During character creation,
students are allowed the creative
freedom to design as they wish
according to the guidelines of the
website.
To Cooperate With Others:
- Sections of the lesson will involve
peer collaboration (as they are
utilizing data from their peers and
may collect data on their own).
