Scientific Investigation and Graphing

An experiment is performed on plants to see how different liquids affect plant growth. Each plant in the experiment is given a different liquid; water, apple juice, or milk. Each plant has the same amount of soil and sunlight, and the same amount of liquid is used for each. In this investigation, the independent variable is ...

An experiment is performed on plants to see how different liquids affect plant growth. Each plant in the experiment is given a different liquid; water, apple juice, or milk. Each plant has the same amount of soil and sunlight, and the same amount of liquid is used for each. In this investigation, the researcher records the height of the plants in each group. What kind of graph should they use to present their data?

• Bar graph

• Line graph

• Pie graph
