Graph and Interpret Results

A graph turns a table of numbers into a picture you can read at a glance. A good scientist does not just plot the points — they label every part of the graph so any reader can understand it, and they describe the trend in plain words. In this lesson you will name the parts of a graph, plot points from a table, read values back off a graph, and explain the pattern you see.

What this lesson teaches

1Label the parts of a line graph (title, axes, units, scale)
2Plot data points accurately from a results table
3Read a value from a graph by tracing across to the axis
4Describe the trend a graph shows in one clear sentence
