  • Description:
    This principle calls to create tools that enable students to easily represent any data they collect (temperature, time, data from surveys, etc.) in interactive dynamic graphs (students can add more data and see the graph change).
    Graphing data collected by students can promote their understanding of the phenomenon they are studying, and motivate them to continue to their inquiry by decreasing the work load of having to graph the data themselves.
