Question

1. A science class is studying seeds. They plan to measure the length, height, and mass of different types of seeds. Which of these items should the class use to record their measurements as the class takes the measurements? *

A.camera
B.drawing
C.graph
D.data table

Answer 1

Answer: D. data table

You can easily get rid of A and B because they don’t tell you a lot about your plant on their own. As for C you could use a graph but they’re only good at giving you two forms of data, which are usually dependent data and time and you need three forms of data. Finally a table can hold as many different data points as you need and because you need three it would be wise to use a table not a graph.
