During
a unit on weather, we keep an outdoor thermometer outside our
classroom window. Each day 2 assigned students are in charge of
recording the high and low temperatures of that day. Then they
plot their data on a large, over-sized graph in our classroom.
If you don't have room to put a large graph, each student can
have individual graphs at their desks. Graphing this information
is also important if you build a weather station outside of your
room. There's even more to graph then!
