Graphing and Finish Milk Lab Write Up
Journal
1. Survey at least 12 people on one of the following:
*favorite color
*favorite type of food
*favorite school subject
*favorite super hero
2. Create a graph of your data.
Graphing
Elements of a good graph:
1. Title (should be descriptive of what is in the graph)
2. Axis Labels
X Axis - Independent Variable
Y Axis - Dependent Variable
3. Proper Scale
4. Key
5. Data plotted correctly
Make a graph of the data from the following experiment:
A biology student performed an experiment to determine which of two species of single-celled organisms would survive best when cultured together in a certain environment. The student placed 10 organisms of each species into a large test tube. Throughout the experiment, the test tube was maintained at 30°C. After the test tube was set up, the population of each species was determined each day for 5 days. The data collected are shown in the table to the right.
