How is an different from an ‘extrapolation’ ‘interpolation?’ Why must the reader of the graph be cautious about extrapolations? Basic Requirements for a GOOD Graph! Read over the suggested titles for the graphs on page A6, a-e. Why is the superior title? (You will be ‘e’ expected to write GOOD titles for all of your graphs.) What is with the graph at A.5 on page 6? ‘wrong’ When marking an axis, units are marked at that correspond to intervals between the ‘intervals’ experimental points. What do we call these little marks? (NOTE: Be sure to examine the figure at A.7 carefully. The graphs you make in lab will be expected to appear in a similar fashion, including frames.) What is the vertical scale (y-axis) called? ___________________ What is the horizontal (x-axis) called? _____________________
