Growing Beans (GAISE II Level A)

Data Story

In this lesson, students informally describe the shape of distributions of bean plants. They compare the mean and median of plants grown in light and dark.

Their investigative question was: What environment is better for growing bean plants, light or dark? In this activity, you will see the data from their experiment and draw some conclusions.
