Graphing in Robotics 8) Catalyst: Name as many types of graphs as you can!
Agenda Graphing in Robotics Graphing Practice
Useful Abbreviations Manipulated Variable (MV) – The variable in the investigation that is being changed. Responding Variable (RV) – The variable in the investigation that is being measured. TAILS – Title, Axes, Intervals, Labels, Scale
Objective NGSS (1) Communicate data through tables and graphs. (1) Communicate data through tables and graphs. (2) Create appropriate graphs based on data.
Graphing in Science
What are the parts of a graph?
Title X-axis Y-axis
Graphing in Science Graph Parts Title Y-Axis | | |__________________________ X-axis
What are the parts of a graph? X-axis = MV
What are the parts of a graph? X-axis = MV Y-axis = RV
What are the parts of a graph? X-axis = MV Y-axis = RV Title = RV vs. MV Title = RV vs. MV
Graphing in Robotics Graph Parts Title Y-Axis | | |__________________________ X-axis - X-axis = Manipulated Variable (ex: Day #) - Y-axis = Responding Variable (ex: Amount of Rain in cm) - Title = RV vs. MV (ex: Amount of Rain vs. Day #)
Example Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW
What is the Manipulated Variable? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW
What is the Responding Variable? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW
What would the title of the graph be? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW
Example Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW
TAILS ✔ list 1.Title – Does your title have the RV and MV in the correct order? 2.Axes – Do you have the manipulated and responding variables on the appropriate axes. 3.Intervals – Are the axes evenly spaced out and not crowded? 4.Labels – Are the axes labeled with units (cm, L, s, kg, etc.)? 5.Scale – Does your data fit your entire graph?
Graphing in Robotics Graph ✔ List 1.Data in correct location 2.Axes labeled with units (cm, L, s, kg, etc.) 3.Axes evenly spaced out 4.Accurate title 5.Correct graph type
Quick Practice (Left Page) Copy this table down and create a line graph for it! Fertilizer Amount in (mg) - MV Plant Height in (cm) - RV
Quick Practice (Left Page) Fertilizer Amount in (mg) - MV Plant Height in (cm) - RV
Graph Types Vs.
Line Graph - Use when the MV changes amount (day #, amount of fertilizer, etc)
Graphing in Robotics Graph Types - Line Graph - Use when the MV changes amount (day #, amount of fertilizer, etc)
Graph Types Bar Graph - Use when the MV changes type (person name, color of flower, etc.)
Graphing in Science Graph Types -Line Graph - Use when the MV changes amount (day #, amount of fertilizer, etc) -Bar Graph - Use when the MV changes type (person name, color of flower, etc.)
