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 = IV (ex: Day #) Y-axis = DV (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 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 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 Science 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.)
