Charts and Graphs
Line Graphs Best for continuous change Independent variable (x-axis) Dependent variable (y-axis)
Graphing (YMCA)
Line Graphs Let’s make a line graph from data Volume of Gas (mL) Time (s) 4.5 10 5 20 10.2 30 28 40 44 50 58 60
Bar Graphs Useful when you want to compare things
Bar Graphs Let’s Make a Bar Graph from a table Element Melting Temp. (K) Aluminum 933 Gold 1337 Iron 1808 Lead 601 Silver 1235
Pie Charts Showing data that are parts to a whole
Pie Charts Let’s make a pie chart from some information Composition of Calcite 48% Oxygen 40% Calcium 12% Carbon
