Graphs An Introduction. What is a graph?  A graph is a visual representation of a relationship between, but not restricted to, two variables.  A graph.

Graphing Data in Science Looking for a pattern. Why use a graph? Easier to analyze data Visualize patterns in the data Looks for trends.

When data is collected from a survey or designed experiment, they must be organized into a manageable form. Data that is not organized is referred to as.

Three dimensional pie charts may look nice, but they distract the reader and often result in misinterpretation of the graphic. 4. Do not use more than one design in the same graphic. Sometimes, graphs use a different design in a portion of the graphic in order to draw attention to this area. Don’t use this technique. Let the numbers speak for themselves.
