When creating a graph, it depends on __.

• the experiment

• the variables

• the constants

A graph is:

• A visual display of

  information or data.

• An auditory recall of information or data.

• A detailed listing of information and data.

A __graph show trends or how the data changes over time

• pie

• line

A ___ graph shows useful for comparing information collected by counting

• line

• bar

• pie

A ___ graph is used to show how a fixed quantity is broken down into parts or percentages

• circle or pie

• bar

• line

A ___ graph is used when you only have one IV, such as plotting the average number of seeds as the temperature increases.

• double line

• single line

• bar

A ___ graph is use when you have more than one IV, such as plotting plants under different colored lights over time or plants getting different amounts of fertilizer over time.

• double line

• single line

• pie

In a single line graph:

• The DV goes on y-axis, the IV goes in the key, and the Time goes on x-axis

• The DV goes on y-axis and the IV goes on x-axis

• The DV goes on the x-axis and the IV goes on the y-axis

In a double line graph:

• The IV goes on the y-axis and the DV goes on the x-axis

• a key needs to be used

• The percentages are colored in

The IV of this experiment is:

• the amount of time bacteria were exposed to UV

• number of mutant bacteria cells
