- On a separate sheet of paper, make a bar graph using the information about the life expectancy of the dogs in your chart. List the dogs on the left side of your graph. Make your scale go from 0 to 20 years. Remember to write a title for the graph and label the sides.
- Use the data in the bar graph to write a question that can be answered from the graph. For example, you might ask Which breed of dog has the shortest life expectancy?
- Exchange your paper with another group's paper. Answer question 3 on the other group's paper.
