3. Learning Objective SWBAT
(1) Communicate data through tables and graphs.
(2) Create appropriate graphs based on data.

4. Graphing in Science .

5. What are the parts of a graph?

6. What are the parts of a graph?
Title
Y-axis
X-axis

7. Graphing in Science Graph Parts Title Y-Axis | |
|__________________________
X-axis

8. What are the parts of a graph?
X-axis = IV

9. What are the parts of a graph?
Y-axis = DV
X-axis = IV

10. What are the parts of a graph?
Title =
DV vs. IV
Y-axis = DV
X-axis = IV

11. Graphing in Science Graph Parts Title Y-Axis | |
|__________________________
X-axis
X-axis = Independent Varialble (IV) part of the experiment that can be changed (ex: Day #)
Y-axis = Dependent Variable (DV) directly affected by the IV. (ex: Amount of Rain in cm)
Title = DV vs. IV (ex: Amount of Rain vs. Day #)

12. Example Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours

7.5 40 8 20

13. What is the IV? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours
% Students Turning in HW 3 98 4 80
5.4 60
7.5 40 8 20

14. What is the DV? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours
% Students Turning in HW 3 98 4 80
5.4 60
7.5 40 8 20

15. What would the title of the graph be?
Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours
% Students Turning in HW 3 98 4 80
5.4 60
7.5 40 8 20

19. Quick Practice (Left Page)
Copy this table down and create a line graph for it!
Fertilizer Amount in (mg) - IV
Plant Height in (cm) - DV 5 10 13 15 20

20. Quick Practice (Left Page)
Fertilizer Amount in (mg) - IV
Plant Height in (cm) - DV 5 10 13 15 20

21. Graph Types
Vs.

22. Graph Types
Line Graph - Use when the IV changes amount (day #, amount of fertilizer, etc)

23. Graphing in Graph Types
- Line Graph - Use when the IV changes amount (day #, amount of fertilizer, etc)

24. Graph Types
Bar Graph - Use when the IV changes type (person name, color of flower, etc.)

25. Graphing in Science
Graph Types
Line Graph - Use when the IV changes amount (day #, amount of fertilizer, etc)
Bar Graph - Use when the IV changes type (person name, color of flower, etc.)

26. Summary Take 3 minutes to write a summary of today’s notes!
Be prepared to do a short lab!

27. Graphing Practice You will conduct a lab activity, “Penny Lab Graph”.
For each station, create a table and an appropriate graph!
