This middle school science resource has two interactive notebook pages and a 29 slide PowerPoint about analyzing data and making good graphs in the scientific method.

The INB pages and PowerPoint emphasize these important graphing concepts:

• a title that's a combination of the independent and dependent variables
• an x-axis label that contains the independent variable
• a y-axis label that contains the dependent variable
• accurate intervals on graphs
• the purposes and uses of bar graphs, line graphs, and pie charts

About the INB Pages:

• The first INB page provides students with notes about the important parts of a graph and the purposes of bar graphs, line graphs, and pie charts.
• The second INB page has an example experiment and a data table. Students use the provided information to answer questions about how the graph should be constructed. Then, if teachers want and time allows, students can graph the data on a separate piece of paper. Graph paper is not included in this resource.
• The pages can be used alone, with a PowerPoint, or as an activity.
• An answer key with completed graphs pertaining to the second INB page is included.
• Multiple printing options are included.
• The INB pages are in PDF form and are not editable.

About the PowerPoint:

• The PowerPoint is 29 slides long.
• It includes notes and practice and examples for students.
• It is designed to be used with the INB pages, but by simply deleting the last 10 slides it can be used by itself.
• The PowerPoint is 100% editable so teachers can adapt it to their needs.
