![]() ![]() GRRR! :)My goodness, I use graphs all the time to quickly and intuitively convey messages. Unfortunately, I suppose I no longer follow the rules, although I was taught all those rules when I was growing up.Nowadays, a good graph can be done in Excel (so out goes the paper and pencil rules). I try to label the plots and axes, but truth to say, I almost always get comments to make them more readable (bad habit. When you know what you plotted, and are expecting to tell the story when you are sharing the graph, then the verbal part is usually when the axes get labelled for the viewer. It's part of a technique to engage the audience while presenting). So the units and labelling rules are often broken. Fantastic resource.Rhys Baker (author) from Peterborough, UK on January 08, 2012:Bloggernotjogger from La Cala de Mijas, Spain on January 08, 2012:I voted up because the hub explained everything the title said it would. I have more material to read.Rhys Baker (author) from Peterborough, UK on December 25, Dee - huge thanks for your specific comments - really helpful. I will try to keep this as a standard for my Couldn't agree moreRhys Baker (author) from Peterborough, UK on December 25, 2011:Many of my pupils come to secondary school with a good idea of how to draw bar graphs.and nothing else. As such, they plot bar graphs at all times (talk about annoying!) Hence my 5th commandment. Graph Maker Physics How To Draw Barīar graphs are only suitable when graphing the results of a tally chart (categories vs frequency) and are used extremely infrequently about Yr7 in - I agree RE graphing on PCs (although Excel and Minitab are still very poor at drawing lines of best fit) has now become a norm - for good or ill. This will net you extra points for seconds extra work.All teachers keep explaining this to me but i never get it,i just got it now!thanks!Rhys Baker (author) from Peterborough, UK on March 19, 2012:"I'm also not sure why there's no title to your graphs"For my first and third graphs there are titles :S The second graph deliberately doesn't have one. You would be surprised how often degree level students forget the basics!Freemarketingnow from California on March 17, 2012:I'm not sure why I can't draw bar graphs. I'm also not sure why there's no title to your graphs. Otherwise, this looks good for someone in elementary school or junior high. These lines pass through or near as many data points as possible. They can either be straight lined, or a smooth curve. Look for the pattern to decide which is most appropriate. If plotting multiple data sets, WRITE OUT A KEY/LEGEND! I know I have stated this before, but I so often see jagged connected lines on graphs from my students. Only very rarely are data points connected in this way. Your y axis should always plot the dependent variable - this is the variable you are measuring. As such, temperature goes on your x axis (it is independent) and rate goes on your y axis (it is dependent) For example, when looking at the effect of temperature on rate of reaction (a classic chemistry investigation), you change the temperature and measure the rate. Ensure you plot your data carefully, along the corridor and up the stairs. ConceptDraw PRO allows you to draw physical diagrams of mechanical, nuclear, optical and electrical processes using the set of vector physics symbols and physics diagram templates.Mark your data point with a small x. Nothing is more helpful in the study of physics as a visual representation of the physical. E.g.: A Graph to show the effect of x on yIn this type of coffee maker, commonly known as a. Moka, the pressure vessel is partly filled with water, sealed at atmospheric pressure PA and temperature Ti. Even if all their data points are correctly plotted, they have already thrown away half the marks! Be SpecificClick finish and Excel will generate a graph.Ensure you have put your graph the right way around. Under the Chart menu, click on Add Trendline. Under options, display the equation and the R-squared value. This.The simulation shows a ball experiencing projectile motion, as well as various graphs associated with the motion. Use the buttons to select different values of g (the acceleration due to gravity), the horizontal component of the initial velocity, the vertical component of the initial velocity, and what to plot on the vertical axis of the graph (on the right).physics graph maker, Size: 1.3 MB.
