Nothing

What we keep the same

c)

What we measure

5.

What is the dependent variable?

a)

What we measure

b)

What we keep the same

c)

What we change

6.

Where does the independent variable go on a graph?

a)

Horizontal axis

b)

Vertical Axis

c)

Line of best fit

d)

We don't graph it

7.

a)

Horizontal axis

b)

Vertical Axis

c)

Line of best fit

d)

We don't graph it

8.

9.

What is wrong with this graph?

a)

No line of best fit

b)

No axis title

c)

No units

d)

No Title

e)

All of the above

10.

What is wrong with this graph?

a)

No axis title

b)

No units

c)

No line of best fit

d)

No title

e)

No legend

11.

What is missing?

a)

Line of best fit

b)

Axis units

c)

Nothing

d)

Title

e)

12.

Wait... what just happened? What is wrong with the graph now?

a)

All of the below

b)

Significant figures (accuracy) of vertical axis not good enough

c)

Still no line of best fit

d)

All of the above

13.

Ok, this graph looks pretty good now yeah?

a)

Yes

b)

No

14.

The line of best fit is straight. If this experiment was abut adding mass to a parachute, does this trendline make sense?

a)

Yes, it matches the data

b)

Yes, the larger the mass, the lower the time to hit the ground

c)

No, the line should be curved

15.

The line is now curved to BETTER suit the data. Will this curved line intercept the horizontal axis if it continued?

a)

Yes, if you go far enough

b)

No, if it hit the axis, it would mean the object would teleport straight to the ground

16.

An R2 (r squared) value of 1.0 means the line of best fit closely matches the data. Which line of best fit best represents the data below?

a)
b)
c)
17.

What is wrong with this graph?

a)

Horizontal axis doesnt start at 0

b)

Vertical axis doesnt start at 0

c)

It is fine

18.

When creating a table of data, it is best to put the thing you change (independent variable) in the left hand column?

a)

True

b)

True, you dont want to make it a row

19.

When making a table of data, write the UNITS in the heading.

a)

True.

b)

True. Saves you space in the rest of the table (imagine if you had 1,000 trials)

c)

True. It looks neater.

d)

True. The reason for the heading is to describe what the cells are.

20.

Ok. Now the questions to test you...

What is wrong with this graph?

a)

It is a dot-to-dot, not a line of best fit

b)

Units not clear

c)

Doesn't start at 0

21.

The two graphs show the same data. Which graph does not skew the data?

a)
b)
