Aim: What are graphs?
Do Now: Answer the following questions in your notebook.
•Why is it important for scientists to organize their data?
•List as many ways as you can that scientists organize information visually.
![Page 2: Aim: What are graphs? Do Now: Answer the following questions in your notebook. Why is it important for scientists to organize their data? List as many](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649d815503460f94a663a6/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
A graph is a way in which to visually show information. Graphs allow for easy
comparison of multiple variables.
Graphs are constructed from data table.
A data table must include headings, units, and data.
I. Definitions:

II. Types of Graphs
•Line graph
•Bar graph
•Circle graph
**We will only be making line graphs**
![Page 4: Aim: What are graphs? Do Now: Answer the following questions in your notebook. Why is it important for scientists to organize their data? List as many](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649d815503460f94a663a6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Line graphs have two axis.
-The horizontal axis is the X axis it usually
is where the independent variable
is graphed
- The vertical axis is the Y axis it usually is where the dependent variable is graphed
III. Graph Parts
• EVERY graph needs a title.
![Page 5: Aim: What are graphs? Do Now: Answer the following questions in your notebook. Why is it important for scientists to organize their data? List as many](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649d815503460f94a663a6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Independent Variable: is the variable that can be controlled by the experimenter (x-
axis).
It usually includes:
• time (dates, minutes, hours),
•depth (feet, meters),
•temperature (Celsius).

The Dependent Variable: is the variable that is directly affected by the independent
variable (y-axis).
It is the result of what happens because of the independent variable.
Example:
•How many inches something grew,
•Number of oxygen bubbles produced,
•How fast something happened

Direct relationship- as x gets bigger, y gets bigger. For example, the relation ship between age and
size (until maturity) is a direct relationship.
Indirect / Inverse- as x gets bigger, y gets smaller. For example, the relationship between time spent at the mall and the amount of money in your pocket is an inverse relationship.
Cyclic- a repeating pattern.

Most relationships in Earth Science are cyclic.
•the repeating high and low tides
•temperatures go from cold to warm each day
•temperatures go from cold to warm each year
•the phases of the moon
When done, obtain a Scaling a Graph I worksheet from the back top bin.

Scaling Overview
AIM: How do you scale a graph?
![Page 11: Aim: What are graphs? Do Now: Answer the following questions in your notebook. Why is it important for scientists to organize their data? List as many](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649d815503460f94a663a6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
When you graph, make sure you:
• Have a proper title that describes the graph
• Plan out your scaled axis before actually writing them
• Label the x-axis and y-axis appropriately
![Page 12: Aim: What are graphs? Do Now: Answer the following questions in your notebook. Why is it important for scientists to organize their data? List as many](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649d815503460f94a663a6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• One box along the x- axis is equal in length to one box along the y-axis.

• The two axes can be scaled differently.

Rate of Change• The rate of change measures the amount of
change taking place in a given amount of time.
• This equation is found on page 1 of the Earth Science Reference Tables:
• Rate of Change = Change in Field Value
Change in Time
![Page 15: Aim: What are graphs? Do Now: Answer the following questions in your notebook. Why is it important for scientists to organize their data? List as many](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649d815503460f94a663a6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Field value = what was being measured
• Change in time = the amount of time it took for the change to occur
Rate of Change = Change in Field Value Change in Time

Example Problem
• Example: The temperature in a greenhouse is 10 degrees C at 12:00 a.m. At 3:00 a.m., the temperature is 5 degrees C.
• At what rate did the temperature change?
• There is a 5 degree C change in 3hrs. (5 degrees C / 3 hrs)
Rate of change = 1.7 degrees C/hr.

Do now:
- Take out your scaling a graph I and II.
- I will be coming around to check scaling a graph II.
- From your Scaling a graph I worksheet, find the rate of temperature change from January to July
Rate of Change = Change in Field ValueChange in Time

From your Scaling a graph II worksheet, find the rate of temperature change from July to December.
