1 Graphing in Science

2 ..

3 What are the parts of a graph?

4 Title X-axis Y-axis

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

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

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

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

9 Graphing in Science 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 #)

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

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

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

13 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

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

15 Graph ✔ list 1.Data in correct location 2.Axes labeled with units (cm, L, s, kg, etc.) 3.Axes evenly spaced out 4.Accurate title 5.Correct graph type

16 Graphing in Science Graph ✔ List 1.Data in correct location 2.Axes labeled with units (cm, L, s, kg, etc.) 3.Axes evenly spaced out 4.Accurate title 5.Correct graph type

17 Quick Practice (Back Page) Copy this table down and create a line graph for it! Number of Weeks with Fertilizer- IV Plant Height in (cm) - DV 110 213 315 420

18 Quick Practice (Back Page) Number of Weeks with Fertilizer - IV Plant Height in (cm) - DV 110 213 315 420

19 Graph Types Vs.

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

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

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

23 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.)
