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 ?@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.
A.8 / think the best graph was the 7raph 9umber " because it was numbered mostly and it was
better then all of the other rest of them.
