Grade 3 Science · World 9: Sunlight Lab · Level 60
Tables and Charts
Read and make tables and bar graphs of temperatures over time.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 60
- Scientists record their measurements in a table. Each row is a time, and each column is a place.
- Read across a row to compare. At 12:00, it was 82 degrees in the sun but only 68 in the shade.
- A bar graph makes it easy to see the difference at a glance. On another day, it was 90 degrees in the sun and 70 in the shade: 20 degrees warmer in the sun.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- S3P1.b — Plan and carry out an investigation to gather data using thermometers to produce tables and charts that illustrate the effect of sunlight on various objects. (Clarification statement: The use of both Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales is expected.)
