Blended Learning Lesson Package 2

Topic: Topic 11.2 Graphical Technics
Title: Graphing Exercise
Duration: 1 hr
Focus: Understandings:
• Graphical techniques are an effective means of communicating the effect of an
independent variable on a dependent variable, and can lead to determination of physical
quantities.
• Drawn graphs have labelled and scaled axes, and are used in quantitative measurements.

Applications and skills:

• Drawing graphs of experimental results including the correct choice of axes and scale.
• Interpretation of graphs in terms of the relationships of dependent and independent
variables.
• Production and interpretation of best-fit lines or curves through data points, including
an assessment of when it can and cannot be considered as a linear function.
