Lab Workout 10: Station 2 Measuring Ourselves - Height and Foot Size in InspireData (Elementary/Early Childhood/TAL - Required, option 2)

This station involved finding the height, wingspan, and foot length of three participants. I then graphed the information in a table and an axis graph using InspireData. The goal is to then analyze what the graphs show us from the given data.

The first step was to put the data into a table:

Height, Wingspan, and Foot Length for Taylor, Hannah, and Maddie




The next step was to turn this table into an axis plot:

  • Questions:

1. Is there a relationship between height and wingspan?

Yes, the axis plot shows that as height increases, wingspan also increases directly.

2. How can you tell from the graphs?

The green dots increase along the x and y axes as the height and wingspan increase.

3. Is there a relationship between height and foot length?

Yes, as height increases foot length increases.


4. How can you tell from the graphs?

The green dots shift increasingly along the x and y axes, showing an increasing and direct relationship.
