1. Interpreting Data Unit 1

2. How to Start 1. Start on outside: a) X & Y-axis b) explain what graphs tell you 2. Inside Graph: a) Look for trends in graphs b) increasing, decreasing, same 3. Find IV & DV

3. Interpreting 1. How can data answer question that is being investigated 2. Compare info from data to what you already know

4. Example 1 Graph the data table shown Title the graph Make a hypothesis Make 3 points of analysis about the graphed information

5. Title of Example 1 The temperature in degrees Celsius as a function of the depth below the Earth’s surface.

6. Hypothesis for Example 1 If the depth below Earth’s surface increases, then the temperature increases because the Earth’s core is extremely hot. Therefore, the deeper you go the hotter it should become

7. Trends in Example 1 Constant increases in temp. as travel further below Earth’s surface Support: Depth :1 km Temperature: 50 o C Depth: 4 km Temperature: 150 o C

8. Predictions Could you use the data about temperatures beneath Earth’s surface to predict the temperature at 9km beneath Earth’s surface?

9. Independent Assignment Complete Interpreting Data pg 52: Deer and Wolf Population, on a separate sheet of paper When finished, staple Earth graph and Deer and Wolf Population to worksheet Hand in to the bin Take out Homework (yellow worksheet)
