Did You Know...
Scientists use graphs to help them to see patterns and trends in the data they collect during their investigations and experiments.
Lesson Warmup
Think about how much your height has changed since you were born.
How could you show those changes using a graph?
Do you think a graph could save a life?
The crew members of the Space Shuttle Challenger may not have lost their lives on January 28, 1986 if NASA engineers could have convinced Mission Control to postpone the launch due to cold temperatures.
