Identify the Axes
Y- Axis

Identify the Axes
Y- Axis
X- Axis
Dependent Variable(what is
observed and measured)
Independent Variable
(what is changed by the scientist)

One way to remember which data goes on which axis is the acronym DRY MIX.
D.R.Y. M.I.X.
D- Dependent M- Manipulated
R- Responding I- Independent
Y- Y-axis X- X-axis

Title
• Write an appropriate title for the graph at the top.
• The title should contain both the independent and dependent variables.
![Page 9: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Scale
• Decide on an appropriate scale for each axis.
• The scale refers to the min and max numbers used on each axis. They may or may not begin at zero.
• The min and max numbers used for the scale should be a little lower than the lowest value and a little higher than the highest value.
• This allows you to have a smaller range which emphasizes the comparisons/trends in the data.
![Page 10: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Scale
•The Y-axis scale is from 0-100.
•The largest value though is only 35.
![Page 11: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Scale
•The Y-axis scale is now from 0-40.
•This does a better job emphasizing the comparisons between coins.
![Page 12: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Intervals
• Look at your minimum and maximum values you set up for both the Y and X-axis. (For most bar graphs, the X-axis will not have numerical values.)
• Decide on an appropriate interval for the scale you have chosen. The interval is the amount between one value and the next.
• It is highly recommended to use a common number for an interval such as 2, 5, 10, 25, 100, etc.
![Page 13: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Intervals
The interval for the Y-axis is 20.
The X-axis does not have numerical data and does not need an interval.
![Page 14: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Labels
• Both axes need to be labeled so the reader knows exactly what the independent and dependent variables are.
• The dependent variable must be specific and include the units used to measure the data (such as “number of drops”).

How to Make a Bar Graph
1. Dependent Variable: y-axis
2. Independent Variable: x-axis
3. Number the y-axis
4. Label the x and y-axis
5. Draw a bar for each data value
6. Label each bar
7. Give your graph a title

Graphing Rules Notes
Purpose of a Graph: to show data visually
Line graphs: used for data that is connected, such as over a period of time. Lines consist of connected dots.
![Page 23: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Line Graph• A line graph is a
graph used to show change over time!!
What can time be measured in???Seconds - Minutes - Hours – Days - Weeks - Months – Years - Decades -
Centuries - etc.
![Page 24: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When to use a line graph? Would we use a line graph
in the following situations:
•To show how many people like pizza in this class? NO
•To show how many people live in East Meadow? NO
•To show how much it rained each month this year? YES- because months and years deal with time.
![Page 25: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
How do we make a line graph?
• A line graph ALWAYS has a title!
• A line graph has two different axis’s
• An axis is either the horizontal line (called x) or the vertical line (called y) that form the base lines of a graph.
Y
X

Plotting a Line graph• When we are plotting a line graph, it is
important to read what information is on each axis.
• There must be a label on each axis that describes the information.
• Much like a bar graph, we look at the x-axis first in order to plot our points.

Bar Graphs vs Line Graphs
![Page 31: Sept. 11Pg. 12 Focus: Scientific Inquiry Skill: Graphs Objective: Scientists gather and organize data Homework: data table, parent signature Warm Up:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a85027/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bar Graphs
•Bar graphs are descriptive.
•They compare groups of data such as amounts and categories.
•They help us make generalizations and see differences in the data.

Line Graphs
•Line graphs show a relationship between the two variables. They show how/if the IV affects the DV.
•Many times, the IV plotted on the X-axis is time.
•They are useful for showing trends in data and for making predictions.
