Description¶

Seed germination is presented as a K-2 activity in which students observe and record changes over time, producing data for analysis. The webinar lists it alongside classroom graphs and a group tree as content-area data activities, with examples at teacher, individual-student, at-home, and at-school levels. It serves as a science-embedded context for the data and analysis standards.
