Making a Class Eye Color Graph is a Fun
\nWay for Kids to Learn About Data Collection and Graphing<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

An eye color graph is a great project to work on\u00a0when you’re teaching children about the sense of sight and eye anatomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When kids make a graph they are learning how to collect, organize, and display data that will help them\u00a0answer questions.<\/p>\n

In this example they will be collecting data about eye color.<\/p>\n

Each graph has\u00a0certain parts such as a title to show what your graph is about. Labels to show the\u00a0kind of data being collected, and a section to show and measure the\u00a0data collected.<\/p>\n

In the example above we have the title area, label area, and the data area.<\/p>\n

Creating the Graph<\/h2>\n

There are many different ways to create the graph, this is just one example. We used an 18″ x 12″ piece of paper to make this graph.\u00a0We offer the printable template of the eyes and title header if you like\u00a0Here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collecting the Data<\/h2>\n

\"Eye\"In this example we are trying to find out how many kids in the class have brown, blue, green, or\u00a0hazel eyes. Here is one way to do it. Have the children sit in a circle. Using a portable mirror, have each child\u00a0look at their eyes to see\u00a0which eye color they have. When each child has\u00a0determined their eye color send them back to their desk. Pass out a paper eye to each student. Using crayons or markers instruct the children to color the eye to match their own eye color, as shown in the example above.<\/p>\n

Paste all the colored eyes in the appropriate column on your graph.<\/p>\n

You can also add the number for each eye color to your graph as shown below.<\/p>\n

Here is another example of a bar graph. With bar graphs you use the height of \u00a0each bar to compare the data. This graph\u00a0can be printed out and filled in as a group\u00a0project or handed to each student to fill in on their own.<\/p>\n
