Data and Graphing What is it good for…

Data What is it? Where would you use it in science? Data – Any information, measurements, or evidence collected during experiment, used to produce conclusions

Graphs Graph (aka Plot) - Visual representation of data Lots of different types What types can you think of?

Graphs Bar graph Pie graph aka Pie chart Line graph Scatter graph aka Scatter plot Other more complex plots

Graphs Different graphs work best for different types of data Which one is good for… Percentages or fractions (i.e. finance budget) Percentages or fractions (i.e. finance budget) Pie Chart Group statistics (i.e. class grade distribution) Group statistics (i.e. class grade distribution) Bar Graph Multiple data points for an experimental group (i.e. Miracle grow daily height) Multiple data points for an experimental group (i.e. Miracle grow daily height) Scatter Plot or Line Graph (to show trends)

Graphs Let’s Practice!!!!

Data and Graphs Activity Time (weather permitting) Who in this class is the fastest runner? Who in this class is the fastest runner? What kind of test can we do to find out? What kind of test can we do to find out? What kind of data should we get? What kind of data should we get? What kind of graph should we use? What kind of graph should we use?

Activity Let’s test it out
