  1. DAILY QUESTION September 2, 2008 • For science class, you have asked 100 HHS students what their favorite lunch is: pizza, crispitos, hamburgers, or other. How would you present your data to the class; would you use a bar graph, pie chart, or a line graph? • For your answer to #1, why did you choose to present your data that way?

  5. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Presenting Scientific Data • Line graphs are best for continuous change. • Line graphs are usually made with the x-axis showing the independent variable and the y-axis showing the dependent variable. • The values of the dependent variable depend on what happens in the experiment. • The values of the independent variable are set before the experiment takes place.

  7. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Presenting Scientific Data, continued • Bar graphs compare items. • A bar graph is useful for comparing similar data for several individual items or events. • A bar graph can make clearer how large or small the differences in individual values are.

  8. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Bar Graph

  9. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Presenting Scientific Data, continued • Pie charts show parts of a whole. • A pie chart is ideal for displaying data that are parts of a whole. • Data in a pie chart is presented as a percent.

  10. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation • Scientific notation is a method of expressing a quantity as a number multiplied by 10 to the appropriate power. • Some powers of 10 and their decimal equivalents are shown below. • 103 = 1000 • 102 = 100 • 101 = 10 • 100 = 1 • 10-1 = 0.1 • 10-2 = 0.01 • 10-3 = 0.001

  11. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation, continued • Using scientific notation • When you use scientific notation in calculations, you follow the math rules for powers of 10. • When you multiply two values in scientific notation, you add the powers of 10. When you divide, you subtract the powers of 10.

  12. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Math Skills Writing Scientific Notation The adult human heart pumps about 18 000 L of blood each day. Write this value in scientific notation. 1. List the given and unknown values. Given: volume, V = 18 000 L Unknown: volume, V = ? x 10? L

  13. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Math Skills, continued 2. Write the form for scientific notation. V = ? x 10? L 3. Insert the known values into the form, and solve. First find the largest power of 10 that will divide into the known value and leave one digit before the decimal point. You get 1.8 if you divide 10 000 into 18 000 L. So, 18 000 L can be written as (1.8 x 10 000) L

  14. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Math Skills, continued Then write 10 000 as a power of 10. Because 10 000 = 104, you can write 18 000 L as 1.8 x 104 L. • V = 1.8 x 104 L

  15. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Math Skills Using Scientific Notation Your state plans to buy a rectangular tract of land measuring 5.36 x 103 m by 1.38 x 104 m to establish a nature preserve. What is the area of this tract in square meters? 1. List the given and unknown values. Given: length, l = 1.38 x 104 m width, w = 5.36 x 103 m Unknown: area, A = ? m2

  16. Section 3 Organizing Data Chapter 1 Math Skills, continued 2. Write the equation for area. A = l  w 3. Insert the known values into the equation, and solve. A = (1.38  104 m) (5.36  103 m) Regroup the values and units as follows. A = (1.38  5.36) (104 103) (m  m) When multiplying, add the powers of 10. A = (1.38  5.35) (104+3) (m  m) A = 7.3968  107 m2 A = 7.40  107 m2
