Review
-
Do you need to collect more data?
-
Make sure to clearly label all tables and graphs. And, include the units of measurement (volts, inches, grams, etc
-
- Place your independent variable on the x-axis of your graph and the dependent variable on the y-axis.
-
Take some time to carefully review all of the data you have collected from your experiment. Use charts and graphs to help you analyze the data and patterns. Did you get the results you had expected? What did you find out from your experiment?
Really think about what
-
you have discovered and use your data to help you explain why you think certain things happened.
-
Often, you will need to perform calculations on your raw data in order to get the results from which you will generate a conclusion
-
A bar graph might be appropriate for comparing different trials or different experimental groups. It also may be a good choice if your independent variable is not numerical
-
A time-series plot can be used if your dependent variable is numerical and your independent variable is time. (In Microsoft Excel, the "line graph" chart type generates a time series. By default, Excel simply puts a count on the x-axis. To generate a time series plot with your choice of x-axis units, make a separate data column that contains those units next to your dependent variable. Then choose the "XY (scatter)" chart type, with a sub-type that draws a line.)
