This document outlines graphing assignments and concepts including interpreting graphs, why science uses graphs, the relationship between the x and y axes, dot plots, and scatterplots. Students are asked to practice interpreting graphs, learn about graphing through a Brainpop video, and take a quiz on graphing concepts. Graphs present data visually and make it easy to compare numerical quantities by showing their relative sizes. The x axis represents one variable while the y axis represents another related variable.
3. Why Does Science use Graphs?
• Graphs and charts are used to present data and facts in visual
form.
• A graph is an easy way to compare numbers because it displays
the relative sizes of numerical quantities.
4. X axis and Y axis
• They are different! They mean different things, but
• They are related!
• What is on the x axis ?
• What is on the y-axis?
10. • What is being measured in this graph?
• On which days were drink sales higher than food sales?
• Did food or drink sales bring in more money for the restaurant?
Why?
