Data Table: Rate of Photosynthesis
Trial # Number of Bubbles/Minute
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Trial 1 1 4 6 9 10 12 13 15 18 20
Trial 2 3 7 11 14 16 20 25 28 32 35
Making a Graph
2. In the space below, make a line graph showing the data from both trials
To make a line graph showing the data from both trials, follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the variables for your graph.
In this case, the independent variable is "Trial #" and the dependent variable is "Number of Bubbles/Minute".
Step 2: Label the x-axis and y-axis.
The x-axis should be labeled "Trial #" and the y-axis should be labeled "Number of Bubbles/Minute".
Step 3: Plot the data points.
Using the data provided in the table, plot the data points for each trial on the graph. For example, for Trial 1, plot (1, 2) for the first data point and (10, 20) for the last data point. For Trial 2, plot (1, 3) for the first data point and (10, 35) for the last data point.
Step 4: Connect the data points with a line.
Draw a line that connects the data points for each trial. The line should pass through all the plotted points for that trial.
Step 5: Add a legend (if needed).
If necessary, add a legend to indicate which line represents Trial 1 and which line represents Trial 2.
Step 6: Add a title for the graph.
Lastly, give your graph a title that accurately represents the data being shown, such as "Rate of Photosynthesis by Trial".
By following these steps, you should be able to create a line graph that accurately represents the data from both trials.
