Learning Goal: Name and draw as many types of graphs as you can! Graphing in Science Learning Goal: Name and draw as many types of graphs as you can!
Agenda Reminders Graphing in Science Graphing Practice
Learning Objective SWBAT (1) Communicate data through tables and graphs. (2) Create appropriate graphs based on data.
Graphing in Science .
What are the parts of a graph?
What are the parts of a graph? Title Y-axis X-axis
Graphing in Science Graph Parts Title Y-Axis | | |__________________________ X-axis
What are the parts of a graph? X-axis = IV
What are the parts of a graph? Y-axis = DV X-axis = IV
What are the parts of a graph? Title = DV vs. IV Y-axis = DV X-axis = IV
Graphing in Science Graph Parts Title Y-Axis | | |__________________________ X-axis X-axis = Independent Varialble (IV) part of the experiment that can be changed (ex: Day #) Y-axis = Dependent Variable (DV) directly affected by the IV. (ex: Amount of Rain in cm) Title = DV vs. IV (ex: Amount of Rain vs. Day #)
Example Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 3 98 4 80 5.4 60 7.5 40 8 20
What is the IV? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 3 98 4 80 5.4 60 7.5 40 8 20
What is the DV? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 3 98 4 80 5.4 60 7.5 40 8 20
What would the title of the graph be? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 3 98 4 80 5.4 60 7.5 40 8 20
Example Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 3 98 4 80 5.4 60 7.5 40 8 20
Graph ✔ list Data in correct location Axes labeled with units (cm, L, s, kg, etc.) Axes evenly spaced out Accurate title Correct graph type

Quick Practice (Left Page) Copy this table down and create a line graph for it! Fertilizer Amount in (mg) - IV Plant Height in (cm) - DV 5 10 13 15 20
Quick Practice (Left Page) Fertilizer Amount in (mg) - IV Plant Height in (cm) - DV 5 10 13 15 20
Graph Types Vs.
Graph Types Line Graph - Use when the IV changes amount (day #, amount of fertilizer, etc)
Graphing in Graph Types - Line Graph - Use when the IV changes amount (day #, amount of fertilizer, etc)
Graph Types Bar Graph - Use when the IV changes type (person name, color of flower, etc.)
Graphing in Science Graph Types Line Graph - Use when the IV changes amount (day #, amount of fertilizer, etc) Bar Graph - Use when the IV changes type (person name, color of flower, etc.)
Summary Take 3 minutes to write a summary of today’s notes! Be prepared to do a short lab!
Graphing Practice You will conduct a lab activity, “Penny Lab Graph”. For each station, create a table and an appropriate graph!
