Drawing Bar Graphs: Step-by-Step Guide

The video tutorial guides viewers through the process of creating a bar graph. It begins with an introduction to the necessary materials, followed by instructions on setting up the axes and labeling them with the independent and dependent variables. The tutorial then covers adding scales and labels, plotting data points, and drawing bars. Finally, it concludes with adding a title and finalizing the graph, ensuring it is clear and informative.

What materials are essential to begin drawing a bar graph?

• Graph paper, pencil, ruler, and felt tips

• A notebook, a pen, and highlighters

• Colored markers, a whiteboard, and a digital pen

• A computer, graphing software, and a printer

What does the x-axis represent in the bar graph discussed?

• The number of trials

• The type of surface

• The distance traveled

• The time taken

What variable is placed on the y-axis of the bar graph?

• Distance traveled

• Speed

• Type of surface

• Time taken

What unit is used for the dependent variable in the graph?

• Centimeters

• Inches

• Kilometers

• Meters

Which of the following is not a surface type mentioned in the graph?
