I think this has been the most excited I have seen them doing graphing. \r\nThey created bar graphs from data that was collected during the Spill the Beans Lab, which simulated what happens with renewable and non-renewable resources when they are used by humans. The students then used the colored pencils to draw the same graph for their lab reports. \r\nThese simple tools made such a huge difference with my students.
