10. Graphing with Clarity

11. 3 Main Types of Graph Used in Physical Science  Pie Chart  Line Graph  Bar Graph

12. How to…  T= Title is informative, clear, makes sense  A= Axis (MV on X and RV on Y) are labeled  I= Intervals (steps) are even & appropriate  L= Labels on everything  S= Scale helps to show differences (uses whole paper and zooms in on what’s important)  RULER and COLOR for professionalism

13. Pie Chart  Shows parts of a whole  Usually involves % (percentages)  Label category and %  Use something circle to trace  Use a ruler and color

16. Line Graph  Data is connected in some way. For example: change in temp. over time, daily temp. or rainfall, plant growth over time  Appropriate scale and labels become crucial  Also needs ruler and color

19. Bar Graph  Used for comparing data in categories  MUST have a ZERO on the scale  Ex: test scores, income level, density of objects  Also needs ruler and color

20. Without a ZERO, it looks like the value doubles when it doesn’t!

23. FIGURE 1: Mean walking speeds of Female Partner (FP) and Male Partner (MP) alone, together, and holding hands. The average walking speed of the MPs significantly slowed to walk with the FP (by 6.3%; p = 0.009) and to hold hands (by 7.0%; p = 0.007), while the FPs’ speeds changed by <1% across all three conditions (alone, with MP, and holding hands). The error bars represent standard error.
