Problems

Discuss the information in the graph by asking some or all of the following questions:

  • Which animal sleeps the most?
  • Which animal sleeps the least?
  • Which animal sleeps more, a dog or cat?
  • About how many hours per day is a cow awake?
  • How many more hours does the bat sleep than the seal?
  • If you added yourself to the graph how many hours do you sleep?

An image of a graph showing how long each type of animal sleeps in hours per day. Bat: 20, Cat: 13, Cow: 4, Dog: 10, Seal: 7, Squirrel: 15.

Possible Extension:

Research how long some other animals sleep. Have your child create a graph using this information.
