Description
Are you looking for some daily graphs for science? Engage your middle school science students with 20 quick, data-driven bell ringers designed to build graph literacy and reinforce physical science concepts in just five minutes a day. Each page features a clear science graph accompanied by four multiple-choice questions that challenge students to interpret data, draw conclusions, and apply scientific reasoning. Included as a printable PDF and paired with 20 Google Form links, this resource frees you from the task of grading while providing instant feedback and progress monitoring. Perfect for bell work, warm-ups, early finishers, or remote assignments, these daily graphs require minimal prep and keep students thinking like scientists. Students will use the SEP Science and Engineering Practice of Analyzing and Interpreting Data.
What’s Included
- Printable PDF with 20 full-page graph analysis worksheets (8.5″×11″)
- 20 Google Form links (one per bell ringer) for self-grading, automatic scoring, and easy data tracking
- Four multiple-choice questions per graph, including at least one higher-order thinking question
- Diverse graph types covering key physical science topics (energy transfer, forces, motion, states of matter, chemical reactions, and more)
- Answer key for offline use or paper implementation
