What is an independent variable?
What we change
What we keep the same
What we measure
What is the dependent variable?
What we measure
What we keep the same
What we change
Where does the independent variable go on a graph?
Horizontal axis
Vertical Axis
Line of best fit
We don't graph it
Where does the dependent variable go on a graph?
Horizontal axis
Vertical Axis
Line of best fit
We don't graph it
What kind of graph do we usually use in science?
Column graph
Scatter Plot
Line graph
Pie Chart
What is wrong with this graph?

No Title
All of the above

Wait... what just happened? What is wrong with the graph now?
All of the below
Significant figures (accuracy) of vertical axis not good enough
Still no line of best fit
All of the above
Ok, this graph looks pretty good now yeah?
Yes
No
The line of best fit is straight. If this experiment was abut adding mass to a parachute, does this trendline make sense?
Yes, it matches the data
Yes, the larger the mass, the lower the time to hit the ground
No, the line should be curved
The line is now curved to BETTER suit the data. Will this curved line intercept the horizontal axis if it continued?
Yes, if you go far enough
No, if it hit the axis, it would mean the object would teleport straight to the ground
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?
What is wrong with this graph?
Horizontal axis doesnt start at 0
Vertical axis doesnt start at 0
It is fine
When creating a table of data, it is best to put the thing you change (independent variable) in the left hand column?
True
True, you dont want to make it a row
When making a table of data, write the UNITS in the heading.
True.
True. Saves you space in the rest of the table (imagine if you had 1,000 trials)
True. It looks neater.
True. The reason for the heading is to describe what the cells are.
Ok. Now the questions to test you...
What is wrong with this graph?
It is a dot-to-dot, not a line of best fit
Units not clear
Doesn't start at 0
The two graphs show the same data. Which graph does not skew the data?
