Graphing Planets

3rd Grade is graphing!  There is a terrific website that kids and adults can use to display their data.  The website is located @ http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/default.aspx

This site is very straight forward and can be manipulated with very little effort and instruction on the teacher's part.  I am attaching a great example from our third grade students.  The students researched planetary information.  Students were charged with finding the number of moons each planet has, the distance from the sun, the rotation of each planent, the orbit, temperatures and the number of rings they have. The following example is one regarding the moons of our planets.
