1. How To Make a Graph (The Right Way)

2. Why Are Graphs/Charts Important?
Graphs and charts help display information clearly and accurately…very useful for science!
They make it easy for others to read your data and to make it presentable.

3. How Do I Make A Good Graph?
Step 1- Always give a graph or table a title:
“Dependence of (dependent variable) on your (independent variable)”
Dependant Variable- The variable that depends on the other
Independent Variable- The variable that does not depend on the other

4. How Do I Make A Good Graph?
Step 2- Make sure to have the correct axis:
X-axis of your graph is the independent variable
Y-axis is the dependent variable
Step 3 – Always label X and Y axis and give units:
And always be sure to label correctly!

5. How Do I Make A Good Graph?
Step 4 – Always make a line graph, and always go from low to high:
Do not make bar graphs for science.
Line graphs show trends and influences of variables.
Step 5 – Do not connect the dots!:
If you make a mistake, its easier to fix.

6. How Do I Make A Good Graph?
Step 6 – Last but not least, keep your graph clean!
Others may look at your graph; it’s harder to read if it is sloppy or unclear.
