Put #’s________, NOT the middle of
box
Start in________
Finish in _____ or thin marker
Titles have major words_______
Consistent_________ Key is __________
NO ________ errors Start numbering with ________
_________on x-axis
_________ on y-axis
Label both axes and include
____________(ex: grams)
NO _________!
Use _______to connect dots
Use ______of graph
Title must reflect both axes:
TITLE:
Title has major words capitalized:
Average Daily Temperature for January 1-7 in Degrees Fahrenheit
NO Spelling errors!
Right: Average Daily Temperature for January 1-7 in Degrees Fahrenheit
Wrong: Average Daily Temperature for Janary 1-7 in Degrees Farenheit
Oops! Oops!
Label axes and include units:
Needs to say…in Degrees Fahrenheit!
Needs to say…Day of the week as its x-axis title
Day of the Week
Skip consistent # boxes:
Label on line not in middle of box:
Notice that the label 45 is on the line!
Consistent Numbering
Hint on Numbering:• If the data shows numbers such as 7, 12, 15, 19, 20, 23,
29, etc., wouldn’t it be best to have your axis go up by 5’s?
• If the data shows numbers such as 3, 17, 22, 39, 41, 55, 68, etc., wouldn’t it be best to have your axis go up by 10’s?
• If the data shows numbers such as 112, 225, 303, 439, 537, etc., wouldn’t it be best to have your axis go up by 100’s?
• If the data shows individual days, hours, weeks, years, months, etc. wouldn’t it be best to go up by single digits (ex. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8….)
No line in beginning
NO WHITE OUT!

Cause is on horizontal axisEffect is on vertical axis:
Cause:
When the day changes….
(across the bottom-horizontal)
Effect:
The temperature gets warmer
(shown on the side-vertical)
Use 75% of Graph
• Write large and neat
• Do not smoosh all the information into the bottom or side of the graph paper
• Spread the information out
• Go from top to bottom of the paper
• Make it like your making a display poster for others to see from far away
Your Group’s Turn:Hypothesis: I think warmer weather makes toads chirp more.
Data: 40’F = 10 chirps / minute 54’F = 22 chirps / minute 63’F = 31 chirps / minute 75’F = 44 chirps / minute 81’F = 53 chirps / minute
How would a graph look that reflects this data?• What is your x-axis title?• Y-axis title? • Graph title?• Numbering sequence for each axis?
