I have chosen these graphs because it makes the data easier to read and easier to compare to one another The line graph makes it easier to read when the different data begins to fluctuate. Graphs for girls Graphs for boys: Discussion of results: Individual graphs for each day of each sample: All the data was recorded correctly leading to accurate graphs. Having used similar samples except gender the heart rates for each gender stayed similar to each other in their gender. Although
The dependent variable is observed to see how it changes in response to the experimental variable.
Analyze results – Assume that your experiment produces results identical to those seen in Table 4, what type of graph would be appropriate for displaying the data and why?
6. The most appropriate graph for this data set would be a line graph because it showcases trends and findings within the trends.
The line graph was introduced at the end of third grade, but not in much detail. In this edition, the line graph is used to display a person's height from birth to 10 years of age.
The black line is so much more variable than the red line because the black line represents the annual average temperature and the red line represents the 5 year running average temperature.
* Four heart rates were recorded in both water and caffeine solution so that an average could be produced.
- Graphs show trends or relationships between two variables. They should be numbered and titled.
Hypothesis correct?: Yes and no. The tap water did soak up the color best, however the plants in soft water and the reverse osmosis
Using a measuring tape on the wall each member of the lab group separately stood with either side against the tape and extended the arm beside the wall as high as possible. This height was recorded in centimeters. Next each lab member separately applied chalk to their fingertips, crouched down beside the tape on the wall, and jumped as high as they could while hitting the measuring tape at their highest point. This measurement was again recorded in centimeters. Then the height the lab member’s arm extended while standing was subtracted from the height when they jumped. This number denoted the vertical height jumped. For the jump height measurements a scatter plot was constructed. In order to do this, the data was again entered into excel, highlighted, insert chart and the first scatter plot choice was chosen. It was then that it was necessary to edit our axes and other parts of the graph. The x-axis was right-clicked and format axis was selected and fixed was selected and 20.0 was entered into the blank. Following this, a trend line was added to the graph by right clicking on a data point. A drop down popped up, and from there add trend line was selected from the choices.
8) Make a graph of heart rate and breathing rate (please put both sets of data on the same graph) versus time after exercise. (from lab paper)
As I began college, I decided not to choose a major at first. It was not until the beginning of this semester that I declared Biology as my major. I have always been interested in science, and it has always been one of my best subjects. Since I was little, my dream has been to become a doctor. As I have taken more classes, trying to weed out what I do and do not like, I have discovered that sciences are what interest me the most. Currently I have an emphasis in pre-professional studies which means that my major is leading me to attend a medical school after I graduate from Arkansas State University.
Tables resemble pie charts. pie chart are percentages and line charts are for quantities over a
The scatter plot of Credit balance ($) versus Size show that the slope of the 'best fit' line is upward (positive); this indicates that Credit balance varies directly with Size. As Size increases, Credit Balance also increases vice versa.
This semester I enrolled Biology 101 course with Dr. Smith-Pearson. One of our assignments this semester was an outside of the classroom volunteer project. For this project I was selected to participate in the Tri- Beta Breast Cancer Walk. As participants, we had to do several things to prepare for the volunteer event including a learning session. During this session, we learned exactly what breast cancer is, the different types, and the main causes. I further learned about breast cancer through a scientific aspect in my biology class. We learned that cancer is when cells are over actively reproduced, which is caused by a mutation in the cell cycle and suppresses our bodies ability to function normally to stop this. Also, we learned about some of the different subtypes of breast cancer like, HER2+ (ER-), Basal-Like (Triple Negative Breast Cancer), Normal-Like, Luminal A, and Luminal B. HER2+ (ER-) breast cancer is less common, but it is very aggressive. HER2 is a gene in our bodies that produces receptor proteins, which are responsible for regulating the growth and repair of breast cells. When these HER2 receptor proteins are expressed too much, it causes excessive reproduction of breast cells. It is thought that African Americans have a higher risk for this type. Basal-Like, or more commonly called, Triple Negative Breast Cancer is very aggressive, usually the most aggressive. Basal-like means that the ways the cells look with this cancer resemble cells that line
During my walk in Oral Robert University, I have discovered new adventures and paths that lead me to believe Jesus is and will always be the best thing that ever happened to me. In my discipline, which is biology, I have seen and experience many ups and downs, I have heard the mentality of some of my school mates when they tell me their view between biology and Christianity. Thankfully I never doubted about my beliefs. I am thankful I did not mix my knowledge of biology and my faith with Jesus in a way that I would have to stop believing either one. I love biology, but I love Jesus the most. Instead, biology did in fact helped me realize the amazing creation of our God behind every part of science. How do we show that to the rest of biologist out there? It is important to switch the presupposition that goes against or in different ways to Christianity, to ultimately reveal the truth to even those who are strongly opposed to Christ in the scientific world; introducing a Christian Theism world, and finally guide their beliefs and actions towards the living Christ.
