Aim: How do scientist organize their experimental information?
They collect Data
Data Collection
Data generally refers to the results of trials, or tests, completed during experiments.

A data table is an important initial stage in making sense of the information you will collect while doing an experiment.
How can we organize this information?
• A data table makes organizing data easier to read and study
Data Tables
Independent Dependent
The independent variable ALWAYS is written in the LEFT column and the DEPENDENT
variable in the RIGHT.
Procedure:
1) Half the students will measure their heart rate for 1 minuteduring rest and write it on a piece of paper.
2) Half the students will be instructed to complete 30 Jumping Jacks.
3) Those students who completed the Jumping Jacks will measure their heart rate for one minute and write it on a piece of paper.

Let’s Graph!!!
Why do scientists utilize graphs?
A carefully constructed graph can provide us with a large amount of information quickly.
It also allows us to carefully analyze our results from an experiment.
Types of Graphs:Line Graph
What is this graph telling us?
Types of Graphs:
Pie Graph
What is this graph telling us?
Types of Graphs:Bar Graph or Histogram
What is this graph telling us?
Let’s Graph the Results from our Experiment:Y

X Axis
We will be making a bar graph from our results.
We will graph the average heart rate for the control group and the experimental group.
Rules for Constructing Graphs:
Rule 1: The dependent variable is plotted on the vertical, Y-Axis.
Rule 2: The Independent Variable is plotted on the horizontal, X-Axis.
Rule 3: The spacing between the numbers on both axes must be in equal increments.

LegendThe Effects of Exercise on Heart Rate
What are our results?
Our results indicate that heart rate increased after the students performed 30 jumping jacks.
What is our conclusion?
Was the hypothesis supported or rejected?
This experiment supported our hypothesis. Physical exercise (Jumping Jacks) increases a person’s heart rate.
