- Title
Visualizing Habitats: Using visual data to help kindergarteners model relationships between living things and the places they live.

- Abstract
To help students understand the relationship between living things and where they live, we draw students' attention to the visual data described above and ask questions such as: "How much water is in this habitat?" Then, students take the plant and animal model and set it on top of the habitat picture where they believe the plant or animal lives. Visual data-or visual sources of information-are a crucial part of helping students understand STEM concepts, improve their reading skills, and engage in science and engineering practices (Finson and Pedersen 2011).
