Frequency Distributions are an important type of graphs used by ecologists. In this Powerpoint Slideshow I introduce frequency distributions, discuss when you might want to use one, and show you how to make them.

By the end of this lesson a fully engaged student should be able to
- produce and interpret the frequency distributions
- develop lessons that help their students understand when, and how, to effectively use frequency distributions.
