Ethan, Scarlett, and David are working on a science project. They are wondering why they should use graphs, charts, and tables. Can you help them understand the purpose of these tools?

• To help them visualize the results from their experiment.

• To make their project look nice.

• To practice what they learned in Math class.

• To practice their drawing skills.

Answer explanation

The purpose of graphs, charts, and tables is to help scientists visualize results from an experiment. These visual representations make it easier to understand and interpret data, identify trends, and communicate findings. The other options, such as making the experiment look nice or practicing math and drawing skills, are not the primary purposes of these tools.
