Rules of Graphing
1. Use a ruler2. Use a pencil (and colored pencils if needed)3. Title your graph and label both axes4. Print TITLE and LABELS in BLOCK letter
(capital)5. Underline your TITLE and LABELS with
ruler.6. Labels that have units should indicate the
units in parentheses. Ex: TIME (s)7. Graphs should fill the space given. Space
units evenly and accordingly.

8. All information, including keys, should eb on the same page.
9. Use a bar graph to compare different things.10. Use a line graph to show progressive
change (ex. Change through time)11. Put the variable you manipulate (the
independent variable) on the X-axis.12. Put the variable you measure (the
dependent variable) on the Y-axis.
