This is a lesson on Variation looking at the heights of flowering plants growing in two different habitats. In this lesson the students analyze bar charts of the average heights of Black-Eyed Susan growing in two different habitats. The goal here is to teach students to (a) make accurate observation , i.e., describe what they see, and (b) to make inferences based on evidence, i.e., explain.
