  1. Holy Graphs Batman!! cowbirds in love

  2. Essential Question How do we construct, use and interpret graphs? After this you will be able to…. 1. Identify the Title, Dependent Variable, Independent Variable on a graph 2. Construct a graph with the appropriate Range and Scale 3. Name the 4 major types of graphs and list their uses 4. Read graphs of everything Earth Science-y!!!

  3. How to Graph 1. DRAW THE AXIS Y-Axis X-Axis

  4. How to Graph 1. DRAW THE AXIS YOUR TURN NOW Y-Axis X-Axis

  5. How to Graph 2. CHOOSE A RANGE For each variable, x and y, take the largest number in the data set and subtract the lowest number in the data set. X-Axis: 2, 4, 4, 6, 7, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 14, 16 Range? Y-Axis: 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Range?

  6. How to Graph 2. CHOOSE A RANGE X-Axis: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 Range? Y-Axis: 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 15 Range? YOUR TURN NOW

  7. How to Graph 3. DETERMINE THE SCALE Divide the range for an axis by the number of graph squares available on the axis. Range: 10 # Squares: 5 Scale? Remember: you want to use as much of the graph as you can

  8. How to Graph 3. DETERMINE THE SCALE Range: 15 # Squares: 5 Scale? Range: 50 # Squares: 5 Scale? YOUR TURN NOW

  9. How to Graph 4. LABEL EACH AXIS Make sure you label with the quantity and unit being graphed. Remember: DRY MIX DRY Dependent (Responding) variable = Y-axis MIX (Manipulating) Independent variable = X-axis

  10. How to Graph 5. TITLE YOUR GRAPH Titles should be short, descriptive, and easy to spot. They are usually written… Y-Axis vs. X-Axis or Dependent Variable vs. Independent Variable

  11. How to Graph 5. TITLE YOUR GRAPH X-Axis: Average Global Temperature Y-Axis: Atmospheric CO2 Title? YOUR TURN NOW

  12. How to Graph 6. PLOT EACH DATA POINT Find the X-Axis Coordinate Move in a straight line up to the Y-Axis Coordinate Hint: When graphing multiple trials or data sets on one graph use different colors or symbols

  13. How to Graph 6. PLOT EACH DATA POINT YOUR TURN NOW

  14. Types of Graphs Bar Graph Line Graph Pie Chart X-Y Scatter Graph Pictograph

  15. So Now What?! Scientists use graphs to… 1. Analyze and understand their own data 2. Condense information to make data manageable 3. Identify trends across data sets 4. Communicate their findings with others
