1.2+Making+Graphs

=1.2 and its follow up=

6/09/08 AER Big Idea: Observation and description of changes i the world around us are the first steps in discovering and learning about patterns. Essential Question: What are some of the variables around us?

A. **//Make a graph of your jumping jack data.//**

B. **//What does your graph show about jumping jack rate as time passes? (Another way to say this is, what does your graph show about the relationship between the number of jumping jacks and time?)//** This graph shows the relationship between the number of jumping jacks and how it’s affected by time. I think this graph is telling us that the more time you have, the more jumping jacks you can get done. So for example if the person doing the jumping jacks would only have ten seconds to do his/ her experiment he/she might only have finished 15 jumping jacks. But now we had 2 minutes to do our experiment so the person jumping finished 176 jumps.

Follow up:
For me it was easier to find the relationship between the time and number of jumping jacks from the graph. I thought this was easier to find the relationship on the graph because I am a visual person so I could see more similarities and differences between the two variables in the graph.
 * //Is the relationship you found between the number of jumping jacks and time easier to see in the table or graph? Explain your answer.//**
