 * Science Graphs **
 * 1) Write a description of the data you are collecting for your science fair topic. I will be testing about 6 hamsters which will help me get a more accurate conclusion. The data will be the time the hamster took to complete the maze. I would be trying to see if they get faster or not, and that is why I will use the stacked bar graph to help me see if they are getting faster.
 * 2) What type of graph will you create? A stacked bar graph
 * 3) Explain why you will use that type of graph. I will use that kind of graph because it will help me to figure out if the hamsters are getting faster in the maze.
