1.2+Making+Graphs

__Problem 1.2__

 * A. Make a graph of your jumping jack data.**



B. What does your graph show about jumping jack rate as time passes? (Another way to say this. what does your graph show about the //relationship// between the number of jumping jacks and time?)

The graph shows that the jumping jack rate increases rapidly in the first few time intervals. But in the middle of the graph, the gaps between the points become smaller, which means the jumping jack rate is increasing slower than it was before. Towards the top of the graph (the end of the experiment), the points are farther away from each other, which means the jumping jack rate is increasing rapidly like it was in the begininng.

Problem 1.2 Follow Up

 * Is the relationship you found between the number of jumping jacks and time easier to see in the table or graph?**

I think the relationship between the jumping jack rate and time is easier to see in a graph because the points plotted on the graph give a visual form of the increase in the jumping jack rate. Another reason I like graphs more than tables, is because graphs are fun to make.
