    Graphing—continued

    Materials for graphing
    You will need:

    • ruler
    • pencil
    • graphing paper

    Graphing Checklist
    All graphs must have:

    • a meaningful title that describes what is shown in the graph
    • an independent variable plotted on the x-axis
    • a dependent variable plotted on the y-axis
    • labelled axes (including a name, symbol (where appropriate), and the units of measurement)
    • appropriate scale (choose a scale that displays the data clearly—the graph should be about half a page in size, and each division on the axes should be equal)
    • points plotted with a small closed dot
