General Graphing Rules

• Title• Label x and y axis with units- Dependent variable is on the y-axis; independent

is on the x-axis.- SI unit included in parentheses

• Scaling• Zero Origin• Scatter Plot Data• Interpret data

Review HW

• For each graph created for homework, go back to be sure you have all parts of a “good graph”

• Then compare your graphs to the answer key• Ask your group or the teacher questions to

clarify confusion about interpreting the graphs.
