Don't forget to label the axes! The horizontal axis the the line that makes the bottom of your graph. The vertical axis is the line that makes the side of your graph. Usually, the horizontal axis tells what you are comparing (materials, actions, temperature, etc.) and the vertical axis give the numbers or numerical data. Include units (inches, degrees, seconds, etc.) for your measurements.
Make sure that your graphs are neat and easy to read!

Congratulations! You have completed your testing. Now it's time to tell what you learned. Did you prove your hypothesis? Believe it or not, a scientist's hypothesis is not always correct. That's why it is called an educated guess. After testing, scientists often have more questions and do more experiments. In your conclusion, tell whether your hypothesis was correct and what you learned along the way.
