Tables and Graphs
Target:
I can correctly create a graph from a set of data.
Making a Table
Make a T Chart Place the independent variable
(determined before experiment) on the left (put units in parentheses if necessary).
Place dependent variable (what is measured) on the right (put units in parentheses if necessary).
Place data in the T Chart. Title the Table.
Example
Janet, a cross-country runner, measured her heart rate as she ran. After running for one minute, she had a heart rate of 70 beats per minute. After 5 minutes, it was 80 beats per minute. After 13 minutes it was 85 beats per minute. At the end of the run (45 minutes) it was 92 beats per minute.

Making a Graph
Choose which type of graph: Bar graphs , pictographs, and
histograms are used for independent data (compares data).
Line graphs are used for dependent data (usually over time).
Making a Graph
Place the title of the independent variable on the x-axis (units in parentheses).
Place the title of the dependent variable on the y-axis (units in parentheses).
Determine what the increments should be (they should be consistent and use the majority of the graph).
Plot the data in color dependent on the type of graph. Always use a ruler!
Place the overall title at the top. It should include x and y axis.
Place the title of the independent variable on the x-axis (units in parentheses).
Time Running (Minutes)
Place the title of the dependent variable on the y-axis (units in parentheses).

Janet’s Heart Rate While Running
I can correctly create a graph from a set of data. A seed was planted. As the plant grew, it
was measured over a six day period: day 1 = 0cm, day 2 = 2cm, day 3 = 3cm, day 4 = 7cm, day 5 = 8cm, and day 6 = 10cm.
Different types of balls were released from the same height and the resulting height of the first bounce was measured. The golf ball bounced 54cm, the baseball bounced 9cm, the tennis ball bounced 48cm, the ping pong ball bounced 21cm, and the Styrofoam ball bounced 3cm.
