Warm up 9/9 Name 3 topics we
are going to learn this year in biology.
Where will grades be posted?
What must be included in the heading for all papers?

Graphing
What you need Title of Graph Axis Labels
Variables Units Scale
Legend (if more than one data set)
Things to remember Make it big
Use most of the sheet of paper Make scale fit appropriately You are not required to start at zero!
Write legibly Use graph paper
Vocab x- axis
Horizontal axis Independent Variable (What you control) Time is usually an independent variable
Y-axis Vertical Axis Dependent Variable (What changes
because of x)
Interpreting your graph Interpolate
Using a line to make an estimate between data points
Extrapolate Using a line to make an estimate that goes
beyond your data points Line of best fit
THIS DOES NOT MEAN CONNECT THE DOTS! Only rarely will a graph need to have the data points connected by a jagged line. Usually, it is best to guess at a (straight) line that goes as near as possible to as many points as possible.
