520	3		_aModeling is a major aspect of science, and graphing is an abstract form of modeling that is widely used in education. One of the teaching approaches that can be implemented in a science classroom to improve students' graphing skills is the Inquiry-Based Modeling Approach (IBMA). The purpose of the project was to redesign a biology unit adopting IBMA and aiming to improve grade 1 students' graphing skills. The unit was redesigned based on Lehrer's data display construct. This project was executed in the Lebanese context where there is inadequate emphasis on developing graphing skills. In such a context where memorizing the content is the major emphasis, students face many problems with graph construction and interpretation. A pilot study was conducted on three grade 1 students to examine the feasibility of the redesigned unit. The students were pre-tested and post-tested and the results were compared. Comparing the tests' results showed that grade 1 student’s graphing skills improved and that they were able to appreciate the value of graphs more after the unit implementation
