Comparing Graphs

All of the graphs below have qualities that are good and qualities that need to be improved. One of your
objectives in all science classes is to be able to produce quality graphs. Creating quality graphs is also a
component of the lab reports that you will be writing for all of the science classes you take in the Deer Valley
district.

As you look through the graphs below, consider each of the following: 1) Are the X- and Y-axis labeled with
specific details? 2) Does the graph contain a title that contains specific details? 3) Does the graph utilize the
space provided (or is it really small)? 4) Are the numbering systems used on the X- and Y-axis consistent? 5)
Is all of the data graphed within the provided space?

This is an assignment that I will be looking for on your Weebly website. Create a new tab titled Assignments
under your Chapter 1 Tab. If you forgot how to do this, there is a YouTube video that I have uploaded to my
class website that will walk you through the process. You can then add this assignment on your newly created
Assignments page. This can be done in one of two ways: 1) Use the Text tool and you can simply type
your responses onto the webpage or 2) Download this assignment to your computer (it is found under Student
Resources, Weebly Assignments. You can save it, type your answers directly onto it, then use the
Document tool on Weebly to upload your saved document. Students who use option 2 will receive extra
credit.

Graph 1:



Identify what is done correctly on this graph:

Y-axis numbering is consistent and spaced well
Labels
Identify what could be improved on this graph:
No title
x-axis skips numbers
graphs larger than the paper


Graph 2:



Identify what is done correctly on this graph:
Spaced well on x-axis
Labels

Identify what could be improved on this graph:
No title
x-axis skips numbers
y-axis stopped labeling numbers


Graph 3:



Identify what is done correctly on this graph:

Spacing is well on x and y axis
Didnt skip numbers

Identify what could be improved on this graph:
y-axis needs more numbers
didnt use the whole graph




Graph 4:


Identify what is done correctly on this graph:
Used the whole graph
Spaced well


Identify what could be improved on this graph:

No labels
No title













Graph 5:


Identify what is done correctly on this graph:

Labels on x-axis
Good spacing

Identify what could be improved on this graph:
Didnt use the whole graph
No labels on y-axis



Graph 6:


Identify what is done correctly on this graph:
Used whole graph
Numbered well/ spaced out well


Identify what could be improved on this graph:
No labels





Graph 7:


Identify what is done correctly on this graph:



Identify what could be improved on this graph:





After having identified the pros and cons of each of the seven graphs above, identify which graph is the BEST
graph. Use evidence from your notes that supports your answer. Solidify your answer by making comparisons
between your selected graphs and the other graphs provided.

Graph 6 is the best graph, because it has the most pros out of all the graphs. The other graphs have the same or
more cons then pros. For example, Graph 6 has no x and y axis labels, but labeled the bars in the bar graph to
make an accurate measurement and made it easier for the next person who wants to copy the experiment. Graph
1 isnt measured correctly because the bar is out of the graph, Graph 6 has all bars in the graph. To conclude, I
believe that Graph 6 is the best graph out of all the graphs because its clean, and neatly spaced.
