STEP 6: Graphing Data

Tip #3:

Include operational definitions for the MV and RV on the graph

Once you label the manipulated and responding variables on your graph, you must also include how you will operationally define each of these variables. For example, if you are measuring length, you might operationally define the variable with millimeters, meters, or kilometers. Be sure to use abbreviations when operationally defining variables, and only use Metric measurements. Click here to see a chart that can help you.
