Bar graphs are used to show comparisons or data that is NOT continuous.
2. When is a Line Graph used to display data? Line graphs are used to show changes over time

Dependent Responding variable on Y-axis
Manipulated Independent variable on X-axis
Remember…Remember…The Independent Variable (IV) is the one that we are testing in experimental research. It is the only variable that is manipulated or changed deliberately so it is considered independent.
The Independent Variable (IV) is the one that we are testing in experimental research. It is the only variable that is manipulated or changed deliberately so it is considered independent.
The Dependent Variable (DV) is the variable we are recording and responds to the changed (IV) variable.
The Dependent Variable (DV) is the variable we are recording and responds to the changed (IV) variable.
TAILSTAILS• All graphs have a TITLE (should list IV and DV –
“Graph” is NOT a title)• All graphs have the proper AXIS(Y-axis shows DV
and X-axis shows IV)• Appropriate INTERVALS are used (they must be
evenly spread and indicative of data)• Both axes have LABELS – general and specific.
Units of measurement are included!• The SCALE must be appropriate to the data!

For Example…For Example…• We have studied the effect of studying on Grades.• All students were taught the same material at same
time by same teacher and participated in the same activities regarding the subject (Constant(s) Variables)
• One group of students used their notes and resources and studied for a test (Independent Variable - IV).
• The other group did not study for the test (Control – used for comparison).
• The responding variable (the Dependent Variable –DV) is the grade on the test.

• I would like for you to not only make a hand written graph, but also to experiment with the computer.
• Use EXCEL to create the graph that you have made.
• The computer lab is available before and after school!
