1. Aim: How can we display data in an experiment?
Do Now:

2. Choice 1

3. Prior to doing an experiment, research is done
Planning
Building equipment and getting all materials
Taking safety precautions
Record observations

4. Copy This Data Table

5. During The Experiment, Data is Collected
Different plant species require different amounts of direct sunlight in order to flower.
A student designed an experiment to determine the length of exposure to direct sunlight necessary for a specific plant species to produce flowers. The student collected the data below.
1 hour, 0% with flowers; hours, 90% with flowers
3 hours, 80% with flowers; 7 hours, 10% with flowers
Organize the data collected, from shortest to longest length of exposure, in the data table below.

6. Graph your Data

7. Rules For Graphing
Independent Variable- on the X Axis- examples can be temperature, time
Dependent Variable- Y Axis- what you are measuring
Must have a title
Plot points and don’t forget to CONNECT with a line
Don’t ignore the origin- if it is (0,0) write that
Make sure your scale fits the graphing area
