Tallest Roller Coasters

Tallest Roller Coasters
graph by Levin A-M; slow reveal by Levin A-M

Type of Graph: bar graph

This graph is a student submission! Both the data visualization and the slow reveal were created by middle school student in Indiana (USA). Thank you, Levin! Great work!

Purpose

This slow reveal is designed to support analysis and discussion of both the data and the design choices. The questions in the slide deck invite learners to examine trends, relationships, and possible interpretations. This graph invites students to consider relationships (additive and multiplicative), think deeply about scale along the y-axis, estimate values, and consider implications for this data.
