  1. Create a new entry in the table of contents“Creating Data Tables & Graphs”

  2. Paste inTips for Making Data Tables • Make a data table before starting the experiment. • Always use a pencil and a ruler. • Include a descriptive title. (I.V. + D.V.) • The first column/row is labeled with the independent (manipulated) variable with units. • The second column/row is labeled with the dependent (responding) variable with units. • Data should be collected in ordered pairs

  3. Paste in Example Data Table Title

  4. Create a Data Table for the data below. • Twenty-five students ride the bus to school • Twenty students walk to school • Ten students are driven to school • Five more students ride their bikes than are driven to school.

  5. Paste inTips for Making Graphs • Always use a pencil, ruler, and graph paper. • Use the correct type of graph to display data (Bar – comparison; line – time, trend, or pattern; pie/circle – percent) • Include a descriptive title. (I.V. + D.V.) • Label the X (horizontal) axis with the independent/manipulated variable and its units. • Label the Y (vertical) axis with the dependent/responding variable and its units. • Use an appropriate scale for each variable (use as much graph space as possible). • Include a key or legend when appropriate (top right of graph).

  6. Paste in Example Graph with Labels Title Y - axis Dependent (responding) variable X - axis Independent (manipulated) variable

  7. Bar Graphs: Used for comparison • Used anytime the X-axis has words

  8. Line Graphs Used for change over time Or RELATIONSHIPS

  9. Circle Graph / Pie Charts 100% 50% 50% 25% 25% 25% 25% • A protractor should be used to make a circle. • Today we will use a petri dish to make a neat circle.

  10. Pie chart / Circle GraphUsed for percentages or Parts of a whole

  11. Food Choices of Students by Percent Construct an appropriate graph using the data table.

  12. Mountain Height Construct an appropriate graph using the data table.

  13. Swimsuits Sold by Month Construct an appropriate graph using the data table.

  14. Creating Tables & GraphsKey Examples

  15. Mountain Height 14 12 10 8 Height (km) (Dependent Variable) 6 4 2 0 Mt. Rushmore Mt. St. Helens Mt. Chamberlain Mt. Everest Mountain (Independent Variable)

  16. Mountain Height Mt. Everest Mt. St. Helens Mt. Rushmore Mt. Chamberlain 14 12 10 8 Height (km) (Dependent Variable) 6 4 2 0 Mountain (Independent Variable)
