  1. Tables and Graphs How to set up successful tables and graphs in Mrs. Blackburn’s class!

  2. Tables • A place to record information acquired during an experiment. • Title at the top. • Information labeled and organized into rows and columns. • Always use metric units of measurement.

  3. Examples of Tables NOTE: You may want to have different trials noted in your data tables.

  4. Two examples of the way a table can be made…

  5. How to set up your graph!…DRY MIX & TAILS…

  6. How to set up your graph!DRY MIX DRY D=D.V. (O.V.) dependent v. R=Responding Y=Y Axis

  7. How to set up your graph! MIX M=Manipulated I=I.V. (T.V.) Independent v. X= X Axis

  8. TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer T - Title

  9. TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer T - Title A - Axis Y Axis = Outcome Variable (D.V./Responding) X Axis = Tested Variable (Manipulated/I.V.)

  10. TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer Choose a scale that lets you make the graph as large as possible for your paper and data. T - Title A – Axis S – Scale

  11. Favorite Singer Number of Teachers Toby Keith 22 Madonna 15 Elvis 11 Sting 5 Sinatra 2 How to determine scale • Scale is determined by your highest & lowest number. • In this case your scale would be from 2 – 22.

  12. TAILS The interval is the amount of space between one number and the next or one type of data and the next on the graph. The interval is just as important as the scale Choose an interval that lets you make the graph as large as possible for your paper and data T – Title A – Axis I – Interval S – Scale

  13. (T.V.) Favorite Singer Number of Teachers Toby Keith 22 Madonna 15 Elvis 11 Sting 5 Sinatra 2 How to determine Intervals • The interval is decided by your scale. • In this case your scale would be from 2 – 22 and you want the scale to fit the graph. • The best interval would be to go by 5’s.

  14. TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer T – Title A – Axis I – Interval S – Scale 25 20 15 10 5 0

  15. TAILS T – Title A – Axis I – Interval L – Labels S – Scale Teachers’s Favorite Singer 25 20 15 Number of Teachers 10 5 0 Toby Keith Madonna Elvis Sting Sinatra Singers Label your Y Axis. What do those numbers mean? LABEL your X Axis/bars or data points. What do those words mean?

  16. When to use… • Bar graphs • Used to show data that is not continuous. • Allows us to compare and/or contrast data in separate but, related categories. • Line Graphs • Used to show data that is continuous. • Allows us to show trends over time… how one variable changes in response to another. ---------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: If each trial is not represented individually in the graph, add the data in the trials together and divide by the number of trials completed.
