1. Great Graphs!!!!! Or … How to Impress Math and Science Teachers Or … How to Impress Math and Science Teachers

2. Bar or Line? / One of the first things one needs to do when graphing is decide whether to make a bar graph or a line graph.

3. Bar Graphs are used for comparing

4. Line graphs are used for showing trends

5. Line graphs also show relationships

6. Remember / TAILS / DRY / MIX / TAILS / DRY / MIX

7. TAILS / T is for Title

9. TAILS / A is for Axis

11. TAILS / I is for Interval

13. TAILS / L is for Label

15. TAILS / S is for Scale

17. Remember that A was for Axis??? When figuring out what goes on which axis remember: DRY MIX When figuring out what goes on which axis remember: DRY MIX

18. DRY / DRY means that the: / Dependent or / Responding variable belongs on the / Y-axis / DRY means that the: / Dependent or / Responding variable belongs on the / Y-axis

20. MIX / MIX means that the: / Manipulated or / Independent variable belongs on the / X-axis / MIX means that the: / Manipulated or / Independent variable belongs on the / X-axis

22. TAILS: To remember how to make a quality graph T - Title (The effect of ___(IV)____ on ____(DV)____. A - Axes (correct variable on each) I - Interval (evenly spaced) L - Labels (both axes) S - Scale (appropriate to data)

23. DRY MIX: To remember which variable goes on which axis D - Dependent R - Responding Y - Y Axis M - Manipulated I - Independent X - X Axis

24. Independent VariableDependent Variable Variable – Anything that changes Cause Manipulate Control Effect Observe Respond
