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.
