“line graph” and “line of best fit” (or regression line) are sometimes mistakenly used by students in an interchangeable way.

Being clear as you define these very different graph types will help them to understand what the data are saying.

Three ways data visualization is imperative for analysis: discover the whole story by excluding data, use graphs to steer toward the right questions, and clarify the story by altering the look.

One of the places that scientists look for answers is the past. They look to geological data for insight into how past temperature changes and extinction rates have been correlated

We agree!

Students (bless them) don't have unlimited focus and energy budgets.... let them spend them wisely...
