V. Instructional Input A. Show example graphs from magazines, newspapers and other everyday materials. Title, axes labels, units, usable numbering of axes, and good use of space. Determine the range you need to graph. Count the number of spaces you have to use and divide the range by the number of spaces to estimate the numbering of the axes. Label axes with appropriate labels and units in parentheses.
Space bars out to make good use of the space of the graph.
Independent Practice Graphs will be completed at home if time in class is not sufficient. Additional data can be given to be graphed for homework if mastery has not been achieved and additional practice is necessary. Enrichment Students can graph data on the computer using available software. Students can also find related water quality graphs on the Internet. Closure Class will review process of graphing.
