Using Line Plots to Solve Science Experiment Problems

This lesson teaches how to solve problems using line plots by organizing data from least to greatest, ensuring accuracy in spacing, and interpreting data to make predictions. A science experiment on plant growth is used to demonstrate these concepts, highlighting the importance of data alignment and accuracy. The lesson concludes with a comparison of data to support predictions and emphasizes the value of line plots in data analysis.

How can line plots help in making predictions about future growth in a science experiment?
