Activity 5.3
Representing scientific findings and data visually is one way to quickly and effectively communicate. While we often encounter visual representations of data in everyday life, like graphs about our household energy usage or charts about the weather, scientists have a special way of sharing data visually in what’s called an academic poster. This activity invites students to create their own poster, based on a topic of their choice.
