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! "# Are the $% and &%a'is labeled with
specific details( )# Does the graph contain a title that contains specific details( *# Does the graph utili+e the
space provided ,or is it really small#( -# Are the numbering systems used on the $% and &%a'is consistent( .#
/s all of the data graphed within the provided space(

After having identified the pros and cons of each of the seven graphs above identify which graph is the 9:50
graph. 4se evidence from your notes that supports your answer. 5olidify your answer by making comparisons
between your selected graphs and the other graphs provided.
Graph 2 since graphs need the following to be good labels, x/y axis, amount, bars, and you
know what the info is about. Graph 2 doesn't hae all that but has the most of what ! listed since
it has labels on x/y"axis unlike graph #,$,%,& and '. !t has the amount of whateer it has (so does
eery other graph but ! like this one most of all of the other graphs
). *he bar says how much data it has aswell.
