Graphs visually display data, making it easier to identify trends compared to numerical tables. To create a graph, one must identify independent and dependent variables, choose the appropriate graph type, label axes, and add a descriptive caption. Quizzes included in the document test understanding of independent and dependent variables and their roles in experiments.

Graphing Data
- Graphs are used to display data because it is
easier to see trends in the data when it is displayed visually compared to when it is displayed numerically in a table.
- In a graph, the X-axis runs horizontally (side to
side) and the Y-axis runs vertically (up and down). Typically, the independent variable will be How to make Graph
1. Identify your independent and dependent variables.
2. Choose the correct type of graph by determining whether each variable is continuous or not. 3. Determine the values that are going to go on the X and Y axis. If the values are continuous, they need to be evenly spaced based on the value. 4. Label the X and Y axis, including units. 5. Graph your data. 6. Add a descriptive caption to your graph. Note that data tables are Quiz 1. Which variable must be measurable? A Independent variable B Dependent variable C Both A and B D All of these Quiz 1. Which variable must be measurable? A Independent variable B Dependent variable C Both A and B D All of these Quiz 1. Which variable must be measurable? A Independent variable B Dependent variable C Both A and B D All of these Quiz 2. The independent variable changes the dependent variable.
True False Quiz 2. The independent variable changes the dependent variable. True False
Independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed in and
experiment, and is expected to have an effect on the dependent variable. Quiz 3. If I add more milk, the tea will get a lighter color. The two variables : 1. Amount of milk 2. Color of the tea Which one is the independent variable?
A amount of milk B color of
the tea C both A and B D none of these Quiz 3. If I add more milk, the tea will get a lighter color. The two variables : 1. Amount of milk 2. Color of the tea Which one is the independent variable?
A amount of milk B color of the tea
C both A and B D none of these
The independent variable in this scenario is the amount of milk.
The color of the tea is dependent variable as it is influenced by amount of milk added. Quiz 3. Add extra sugar to make it sweeter. Which of these is dependent variable?
A amount of sugar B level of
sweetness C both A and B D none of these Quiz 3. Add extra sugar to make it sweeter. Which of these is dependent variable?
A amount of sugar B level of sweetness
C both A and B D none of these
Dependent variable is level of sweetness. Amount of sugar is
independent variable which is manipulated to determine its effect on sweetness.
