Graph it up make up

 

Coordinate corner graphing activity:

Find a graph on the web, in a book, a newspaper, or a magazine. Make sure that it is a graph that you understand.
Draw the graph on the back of your lab book.
Below the graph describe what the graph is showing.
Tell me what article or topic that the graph is supporting.
Evaluate the graphs effectiveness at showing the relation and how well it supports the article.

Hop, Skip and Jump Lab: Using the graph and data table on page 6 you are going to do this lab at home, or where ever you may be.
You need to take the following data:
Your rest heart rate
Your heart rate after running in place for 60 seconds
Your heart rate after Jumping for 60 seconds
Your heart rate after skipping for sixty seconds.

You need to spend some rest time between each activity to have your heart rate return to its normal level.

After you have recorded the data in your data table, then you are going to make a bar graph on the left side of the graph showing heart rate on the Y axis and the types of activities on the X axis. Plot their respective values. Make a conclusion about the difficulties of these tasks based solely on your heart rate data.

For the right half of the graph you are going to pick only one of the activities and repeat it for four different lengths of time. After each you will record your heart rate. Rest and repeat. Graph the data with a line graph on the right half of the graph, plot heart rate on the Y axis and time on the X axis. Make a conclusion about the difficulties of these tasks based solely on your heart rate data.

Bubbly Bubbles Lab: Read the instructions and fill in the experimental design boxes on pages eight and nine. Label the graph axis with their respective labels, give both graphs a title. The supplies that you have are a pipette of water, a pipette of soap, a straw and a ruler.

To do this lab at home you can use a bottle of water and use drops, and just count the drops of soap you add from a bottle of soap. Make the soap water solution on a counter top. Use a straw to blow into the soapy water, the straw must be in contact with the surface of the counter. When the bubbles pop use the ruler to find the diameter of the bubble. Repeat this three times for each treatment. Record your data in the EDB, and find the averages. Use these to graph the data. Be sure to make a conclusion and show me your results when you return.
