This bar graph displays data from a science experiment about plant growth.
Students planted seeds in two small containers and then kept one in a sunny spot and the other in a shady
spot. The plants received the same care otherwise. Students measured how much each plant
grew over the course of four weeks. Examine the bar graph and answer the questions.

two weeks? 2. What was the height of the plant in the shady
spot after three weeks? - 3. After how many weeks were the
two plants the same height? 4. How much did the plant in the
sunny spot grow between the end of two weeks
and the end of three weeks? 5. Why do you think
the height of the plant in the shady spot changed
the way it did after four weeks? 6. What would be a
good title for this bar graph? _ 7. How would this graph
have to be different if one of the plants had grown
to a height of 14 centimeters? 8. What conclusion
should students draw, based on this experiment?
