 * Science Graphs**
 * 1) Write a description of the data you are collecting for your science fair topic.
 * 2) What type of graph will you create?
 * 3) Explain why you will use that type of graph.

Answers:

 * 1) __Graph__: tells a story about how much there is or how many there is of something. They can also tell you how something changed.
 * 2) __Pictograph__: A graph that uses pictures to show how many there are of something.
 * 3) __Tally Chart__: A chart with marks to keep track of a score or record.
 * 4) __Compare__:To judge one thing against the other and note similarities and differences.
 * 5) __Axis__: A line at the side or bottom of a graph.
 * 6) __X Axis__: Left side of the paper. Y Axis: Across the bottom of the paper.
 * 7) __Title__: Tells what information is you'll find on the graph.
 * 8) __Circle__: Stands for an entire group of something.
 * 9) __Key__: Tells what each color or symbol in the graph stands for.
 * 10) __Poll__: A survey of opinions.


 * 1) The purpose of a __line graph__ is to show how something changed over time.
 * 2) The purpose of a __pie chart__ is to show differences within a whole group.
 * 3) The purpose of a __bar chart__ is to is to compare amounts of things.
 * 4) The purpose of a __tally chart__ is to count things as they happen.


 * 1) The data I am collecting for my science fair topic is the comparing and contrasting of the enzymic browning results within two slices of apples.
 * 2) I will create a bar graph.
 * 3) I will use this type of graph because it shows the different levels of enzymic browning with the manipulated and un-manipulated apple slices in all of my three trials.
