Use a Graph to Answer Questions
Choose a question to investigate as a class or in small groups.
Write the question you chose on a sheet of paper. Make a prediction about
what you think you will discover. Then write your prediction below the
question. Also write one or two sentences to explain your prediction. Click
on the numbers next to the question you selected to view graphs that might
help you answer your question. Also, click on the arrows at the top of the graph to display
other data and see what you can discover.
