1. Graphing in Science Objectives: (1) Communicate data through tables and graphs. (2) Create appropriate graphs based on data.

2. What are the parts of a graph?

3. X-axis = IV Y-axis = DV Title = DV vs. IV Title = DV vs. IV

4. Graphing in Science 09.09.2008 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 #)

5. Example Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 398 480 5.460 7.540 820

6. What is the IV? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 398 480 5.460 7.540 820

7. What is the DV? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 398 480 5.460 7.540 820

8. What would the title of the graph be? Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 398 480 5.460 7.540 820

9. Example Average Weekly Television Watching in Hours % Students Turning in HW 398 480 5.460 7.540 820

10. Quick Practice Create a line graph for the given data. Fertilizer Amount in (mg) - IV Plant Height in (cm) - DV 510 13 15 20

11. Quick Practice:completed Fertilizer Amount in (mg) - IV Plant Height in (cm) - DV 510 13 15 20

12. Graph Types Vs.

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

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

15. 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.)

16. Graph ✔ list 1.Data in correct location ( IV on x-axis; DV on y- axis. 2.Axes labeled with units (cm, L, s, kg, etc.) 3.Axes evenly spaced out 4.Accurate title 5.Correct graph type
