Math: Dot plots are a very simple way to visually show recorded data. Make sure to label each column of plots with the correct number, and always look for a key to determine the value of each dot. If there is no key, each dot represents one.

Science: Sea Stars are simple but amazing creatures. They belong to the phylum called Echinodermata, which means spiny skinned. They do not have a head, but a circle of arms that come together at the center of its body. There you will find the mouth on the ventral side of the sea star. Check out the photos below!
