Biology Graphing

Unit 1
Graphs

•Graph: visually communicates data;
shows trends
•Bar Graph

•Line Graph

•Pie Chart

•Scatter Plot

•How to make a graph:
1.

Independent variable goes on x axis (horizontal)/ Dependent variable goes on Y axis (vertical)

•2. Write a title for:

• The graph (at the top) and both X/Y axis

•3. Plot your data points

• *Make a legend if needed
