Data Analysis

Overview Take some time to carefully review all of the data you have collected from your experiment. Use charts and graphs to help you analyze the data and patterns. Did you get the results you had expected? What did you find out from your experiment? Really think about what you have discovered and use your data to help you explain why you think certain things happened.

Graphs Graphs are often an excellent way to display your results. In fact, most good science fair projects have at least one graph. For any type of graph: Be sure to label the axes of your graph— don’t forget to include the units of measurement (grams, centimeters, liters, etc.). If you have more than one set of data, show each series in a different color or symbol and include a legend with clear labels.

Two Common Types of Graphs Bar graph XY-line graph
