Bell Ringer:In the movie, “I am

Legend,” Will Smith is a doctor that is trying to cure the zombie virus. He does this by testing

infected rats with a particular mix of

steroids. His newest mix is called “Drug

A012.” He injects 10 infected rats with “Drug

A012”daily. He compares the drug

reaction and zombie like symptoms to 10

infected rats that have not been treated with

Drug A012”

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:

What is this experiment's:

1. Independent variable

2. Dependent variable

3. Experimental group

4. Control group

5. Will Smith’s Hypothesis

What type of graph should we use?

FOLDABLE

Pie GraphGood for:

Percentages

Comparisons

Parts of a whole

Bad for:

Displaying amounts

Graphing over time

NOTE: You must label the percentages within the pie graph*

Why was this type of graph used?

Bar Graph

Good for:

Categories in random order

Counts or frequencies

Bad for:

Large amounts of data

Accuracy

Unemployment College Graduates vs. High School Graduates with No College

Why was this type of graph used?

Line GraphGood for:

Graphing over time

Continuous data

Showing changes

Bad for:

Percentages

Why was this type of graph used?

1st decide what type of graph to use…

2nd decide the scale for the X & Y Axis

Lets practice with this set of data

Student Survey and Graphing Practice

Ask your classmate their opinion for each of the 5 questions

This should take about 10 second each.

This is data collection: Step 2 of Scientific Method!

You must tally your classmate’s guess in the appropriate table.

You have until the timer sounds to complete all the surveys.

Data Analysis: Graphing

•Put your Graphing Skills to the TEST

•The reason we talk about graphing in EES is because it is an important part of the scientific method – Data Analysis

•You will hand this in for a Grade. - The focus is on the TWO graphs- You choose which question you would like graph the data from
