Lesson 6
Creating picture graphs
In this lesson, students apply what they learned in Scratch and create a picture graph program to display the weather data they collected. Through a variety of teacher- and student-led activities, students modify an existing program, add sprites, and adjust values in motion blocks to ensure that their programs run as intended.

- 1B-AP-12: Modify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one's own work, to develop something new or add more advanced features
NGSS Standards
- 3-ESS2-1: Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.
Common Core Standards
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.B.3: Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
