Does your data prove the plausibility of your hypothesis?
Use graphics in your presentation to elevate the message
It's the DATA that tells the story
The Scatter Plot
The Pie Graph
The Bar Graph
The Bar Graph is the most popular type of graph. It is used to demonstrate the relationship amongst different data by comparing groups by category on one axis and value on the other axis.

+info
The Pie Graphs show percentages or proportions of data. They are useful to compare multiple categories of information Unlike bar and line graphs, pie graphs do not show changes over time.
The Scatter Plot ienables you to deterine the relationship between two variables helping you predict the behavior of one variable based upon the other.
The Line Graph
The Line Graph displays data that changes continuously over time. Each line graph consists of points that connect data to show a trend (continuous change). Multiple lines display differential data. Typically time is distributed along the X axis.

Selection of the approriate graph is important
Let's begin ...
Put your data into a chart Go to the Google Waffle - click Google Sheets and ‘new’ - this will take you to a new tab
Step 1: Give it a title
Step 2: Create categories along the top - modify these cells so that they are BOLD to designate them as the headers
Step 3: Fill in the cells with your data
Analyze your data
Does your data prove or disprove your hypothesis? This is important as you begin to finalize your presentation.

Taking the time to format your data in a chart will save time when transferring it to a grph
Format your data
Step 1: Google Sheets automatically formats to the left. To center your information, highlight your desired text/data and click the paragraph icon on the toolbar (select center). Step 2: In order to more easily see your data, add some borders to the chart. Highlight all of the information (titles and all). Click the 'borders' icon on the toolbar. Step 3: Go back up to the top. To isolate the title, highlight the cell(s) to the side(s) of it and click the 'merge cells' button (it's just after the borders button. Note: if this puts the information in the bottom of the cell, you can rise it up by highlighting it and clicking the next button to the right, the 'vertical align' button. Step 4: Now I want to do some work in the different cells to visually show that they are different. Highlight your first colummn and pick a 'fill color'. Do this for each column, choosing a different color for each one. This will help the reader understand the information when we turn this into a graph.
Before going to the next page, proofread your data! This is crucial!
Graphs are important because it is easier to see trends in data when it is displayed visually compared to when it is displayed numerically in a table.
Time to graph...
Highlight all of the information -click the 'insert chart' button (looks like a graph) - it will show a host of different types of charts (line graphs, pie charts, scatterplots, etc.) - it will actually suggest a graph for you, then you can click around on the options that are recommended and see what tells the story the best (from your opinion - since YOU will be the one presenting this information to the judges, right?). - Does it matter if your graph runs vertically or horizontally? Nope - you can actually just pick your favorite look. When you find the graph you like, just click ‘insert’
Take your time - proofread & make changes before publishing

Go back to the chart and click on the cell to create a new one (it will automatically transfer to your graph). * Label your graph's axes - go to the chart, right click and go to ‘axis’ - then type the name of the axis you want (ie. horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) - this is where you would go and change these to reflect what you are demonstrating. PROOFREAD - PROOFREAD - PROOFREAD Finally - it's time to print - you want to do ‘control and p’ (for print) and then save to PDF to share it with your teacher as your Chromebook does not provide you with the ability to print. - select fit to width and ‘color’ rather than black and white, then likely 'landscape' to ensure that everything fits, but if you want it portrait that’s fine too. Just double check that it looks good before you send it to your teacher to print off for you - you’ll get a preview to ensure that it comes out the way you want it to..
