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 = IV
What are the parts of a graph? X-axis = IV Y-axis = DV
What are the parts of a graph? X-axis = IV Y-axis = DV Title = DV vs. IV Title = DV vs. 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
What is the IV? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW
What is the DV? 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

Quick Practice (Back Page) Copy this table down and create a line graph for it! Number of Weeks with Fertilizer- IV Plant Height in (cm) - DV
Quick Practice (Back Page) Number of Weeks with Fertilizer - IV Plant Height in (cm) - DV
Graph Types Vs.
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.)
