  1. ALWAYS have Independent and Dependent Variable Graphing Independent Variable Dependent Variable The independent variable you change, the dependent variable is what you measure! Given cookies and body weight, which “depends” on the other???

  2. I will call on groups • As a group discuss independent variables • List some independent variables • List some dependent variables • why do you think or how do you know they are independent and/or dependent variables • (full sentences)

  3. Graphs need 4 things… • Title • Independent variable (X axis, bottom) • Dependent varible (Y axis, side) • units Tip for remembering where variables go…

  4. Distance over Time Distance (Meters) Time (seconds) • What two variables are we comparing in this graph? • What is the independent variable?

  5. Let’s label graphs

  6. Each group will write a scenario. • Example: A car travels five miles in five minutes, then four miles in two minutes, and finally three miles in one minute. • Example: A person eats five cookies and gains two pounds, then eats two cookies and gains two pounds, then eats six cookies and gains one pound. • Each scenario has three events, with one dependent and one independent variable.

  7. Lets graph it!!Swap papers and find the dependent and independent variables
