Scientific Method and Graphing

Any time you record a measurement, it should be followed by

Observations are always classified as which kind of data?

When the independent variable has categories, the data is said to be

Which type of graph should be used if your independent variable is in categories?

What type of graph is best when the dependent variable is continuous?

All data points are to be shown in a data table.

How many independent variables should be tested in a controlled experiment?

A bar graph and a pie chart both work well for independent variables that are non-continuous.

The comparison group is the

Variables that are the same in the control group and all the experimental groups are

Which of the following is not required to be on a graph?

The type of graph that is best when the independent variable is continuous is

The independent variable always gets graphed on the

The variable that gets measured at the end of the experiment is the

The sample size is

The variable that gets plotted on the y-axis is

In general, data tables have all data shown whereas graphs only show averages.

All data points are to be expressed on a graph.

Which variable is placed to the far left of a data table?

If the independent variable represents a range of numbers (like temperature), which kind of graph?
