My son knows how to make a graph, but we're stumped how to proceed on the best graph for a science project. He ran 10 trials of the effects of temperature on a polymer (rubber band length with a weight at different temperatures).
Below is 1 trial with 22 data points. He has 10 of these and we're not sure what would best, if anything. I'm completely open for suggestions, as I'm not sure the best to proceed.
A tip we found said, "Make a line graph of the rubber band stretch length (y-axis) vs. the water temperature (x-axis). In the end you should have one graph with three lines, each representing a different trial with a different rubber band."
So in our case, would be 10 lines? Ugh.. just not sure what to do.. averages of all data sets? Thoughts, suggestions, ideas? Thanks! Brad
