Bar Graph The bar graph is sorted with the largest category first going to the smallest category.

Line Graph Line graphs compare two variables. Each variable is plotted along an axis . A line graph has a vertical axis and a horizontal axis

Line Graph a liquid cooling for 15 minutes.
Write the numbers against marks on the scale. Start at 0 and go up in equal steps.
Joint the points with straight lines or a smooth curve if the data changes steadily (we call this a continuous graph
Pie Chart
A pie Chart is made by representing the relative frequency of a category by an angle of a circle determined by : Angle of a category = Relative frequency of the category
Pie Chart Label each section with the frequency or percentage

Scatter Plots
Groups of data are best represented in a graph that is similar to a line graph and its called a Scatter Plot. As in a line graph, the data points are plotted on the graph using values on an X-axis and a Yaxis.
