Create a Bar Graph with Data

Name ____________________________

Melissa read an article that stated that children are watching too much TV. It stated that 8-9-year olds watch
20 hours a week. She wanted to know if this data matched her class' viewing habits, so she surveyed her
classmates to find out how much TV they are actually watching per week. Using the data that she collected,
color in the squares in the appropriate place on the bar graph for each response then give the bar graph a
title.
