This video explains how to identify a misleading graph.

When they’re used well, graphs can help us intuitively grasp complex data. But as visual software has enabled more usage of graphs throughout all media, it has also made them easier to use in a careless or dishonest way — and as it turns out, there are plenty of ways graphs can mislead and outright manipulate. Lea Gaslowitz shares some things to look out for.

An independent variable ( also called the manipulated variable) can stand alone and it is the variable you change or manipulate.
The dependent variable (responding variable) is the variable you are changing and measuring.

Watch the INTERACTIVE video and develop your ability to determine if a bar or line graph should be made from ZOMBIE data!
Bar Graphs: Used to display data where the independent variable is made of different categories or different groups.
Line Graphs: Used to display data where the independent variable is one variable that has been divided up -Like time divided into minutes.

Data: Collection, Organization & Graphing
Graphs are essential tools used for displaying data, or information, in visual ways so that you can find the answer to most any kind of question! Observe real-world scenarios demonstrating the collection, organization and display of data through the use of surveys, frequency tables and graphs. From stem-and-leaf plots to histograms, see how each particular graphic organizer provides and categorizes data to meet particular needs. This program takes viewers on a real-world tour of data manipulation filled with circle graphs, scales, sampling techniques and more!

Cyberchase: Line Graphs: Return to Sensible Flats
The kids use a line graph to figure out how Sensible Flats' reservoir ran dry in this episode of PBS Kids' award-winning, animated series. After the town runs out of water, the folks of Sensible Flats begin a mass exodus. When the kids and Digit arrive in town, they use line graphs to reveal the true story of what happened, with all lines leading to the newest resident of Sensible Flats, Hacker.
