Demonstrate How To Use Charts....

Charts, tables, pictures, and graphs are visual representations that are used to organize information to show patterns and relationships, conveying scientific thought effectively. They are relevant across curricula, with consistent conventions, though the context differs by subject. For example, a bar graph visually compares quantities in different categories by rectangular bars of equal width, with the title, labeled axes, and scale providing essential information. The example bar graph shows average monthly rainfall from January to June 2014, making it easy to see that May had the most rain and June the least.

Assessment

Demonstrate how to use charts, table, pictures etc. in teaching Science


Charts, tables pictures graphs etc. are visual representations. They are used to organise
information to show patterns and relationships also a great way to organize and convey
scientific thought.
Charts, tables pictures graphs are relevant to almost all areas of the curriculum. The
conventions of tables and graphs are consistent across all curricula. It is the context in which
they are used that identifies them as science, social sciences, geography, etc.

Example

A bar graph is a visual way of showing information in which quantities corresponding to


particular categories are represented by rectangular bars of equal width. The lengths or heights
of the rectangular bars compare the quantities in different categories.

If you are going to display your recorded data using a bar graph then the graph must have a title
clearly stating what the graph is about. One axis of the chart must be labeled so as to show the
categories being compared and the other axis must have a label and a suitable scale to
represent the quantity being displayed. A bar graph can have either vertical bars or horizontal
bars.

Below is a bar graph representing the average monthly rainfall in the capital city for the first six
months of the year 2014.

[Figure 3]
In the above bar graph the title is clearly shown above the graph and both axes are labeled. The
vertical bars compare the average amount of rainfall for each of the six months. This same bar
graph can also be displayed using horizontal bars as shown below.

[Figure 4]

Remember that a bar graph displays collected data and this data can lead you to discussions
and allow you to draw conclusions. Let’s use the above bar graph to answer some questions.

In which month did the most amount of rain fall?

First, look at the horizontal bars on the graph and find the longest bar. The longest bar is the
one that extends farthest to the right.

Then, look to the left of this longest bar to see the month represented by this bar.

The answer is May.

What was the average rainfall for the month of February?

First, look on the vertical axis and find the month of February.

Next, follow the horizontal bar for this month to the right until you reach the end of the bar.

Then, find the value on the horizontal axis labeled ‘Rainfall (mm)’ that corresponds with the end
of the bar.
The answer is 65 mm.

Which month had the lowest average rainfall?

First, look at the horizontal bars on the graph and find the shortest bar. The shortest bar is the
one that extends least to the right.

Then, look to the left of this longest bar to see the month represented by this bar.

The answer is June.
