This lesson presents the reasons and basic techniques for graphing experimental data in a physics or physical science class. Also presented are ways to analyze graphs to find the equations representing the mathematical relationship between the independent and dependent variables in a physics lab experiment. The bundle includes a 12 slide editable Powerpoint presentation along with a summary notes page and a practice worksheet with answer key.

This is a topic summary for a lesson on describing linear motion through words, diagrams and numbers. It is two pages in PDF format and may be used as a handout to accompany the lesson presentation or as a study guide to help prepare for assessment.

The objective of this lab experiment is to find the relationship between the height from which a ball is dropped and the height to which it bounces through graphing and analysis of experimentally collected data in such a way that an equation modeling the relationship is obtained. The students design the procedure and conduct the experiment using only a ball and measuring device such as a meter stick. The graph may be drawn by hand or with any graphing tool.
