Plant 1 Plant Day of Growth Table of Plant Days vs. Plant Height: Copy down this data table
Step ONE: Draw your Axis Y-axis X-axis
Step TWO: Label Your X Axis: Y-axis X-axis Label the Days Days `
Step Two: Now Label Your Y Axis: Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches X-axis Days ` 14 16
Step Three: Now Plot Your Points Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` 14 16
Step Four: Now Draw Your Line Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` 14 16
Step Four: Draw Your Line Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` Don’t forget to label your line! Plant #1
WAIT! What about plant #2?
Repeat Step 3: Plot your Points for Plant #2 Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` Points for Plant #2 Plant #1
Repeat Step 4: Draw Your Line Plant #2 Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` Line for Plant #2 Plant #1
Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` Label Plant #2 Plant #1 Plant #2
Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` Step 5: Title Your Graph ! Plant #1 Plant #2
Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` Plant Height for one Plant with Fertilizer, and One Plant Without Plant #1 Plant #2
Alternative Title for the Graph Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` Days of Plant Growth vs. Plant Height for Two Plants Plant #1 Plant #2
Alternative Title for the Graph Y-axis X-axis Plant Height in inches Days ` (X vs Y): Days of Growth Vs. Plant Height Plant #1 Plant #2
