DO NOW (4 MINUTES)• Recall ways in which you have had to organize and communicate information. For example: preparing a school project.

• Explain how you organized and communicated information in these examples.

• Finished?•Write down tonight’s homework (Agenda)

WHAT?

•Scientists organize their data using:•Data tables•Line graphs•Bar graphs•Circle graphs

WHAT?

•Scientists use tables and graphs as a way to analyze data and communicate it to others.

WHAT?The Components of Graphs•X axis (horizontal)•Y axis (vertical)•Consistent number scale•Title•Key (what is represented on the graph)

WHY?•We must know how to communicate with each other in different ways to make sure our message is clear.

BAR GRAPH

•Compare and contrast multiple items at one time.

LINE GRAPH•Shows the changes in one item over time.

CIRCLE GRAPH•Shows how parts are connected to a whole.

HOW?You use graphs to organize and communicate data by:

STEP 1: Analyze the data STEP 2: Determine which graph is best fit to represent data.STEP 3: Create graph componentsSTEP 4: Graph dataSTEP 5: Analyze trendsSTEP 6: Communicate trends

GUIDED PRACTICE: 6 MINUTES

•What are our favorite pizza toppings? •Pepperoni•Sausage•Cheese•Ham/bacon•Supreme

GUIDED PRACTICE

• Based on the data presented, what kind of graph would best represent the data? Why?

•What components does our graph need?
