4. PLOTTING YOUR DATA Carefully use the scales for your axes to plot the mean (average) plot for each data point You may find it easier to plot if you round the mass and average time columns to one decimal place (1 d.p.) Plot the point as a small neat “x” (less than half a small square in size) Use pencil!
