X Axis and Y Axis
You may use the term 'X axis' instead of 'horizontal axis' and 'Y axis' instead of 'vertical axis'. However, the terms 'vertical axis' and 'horizontal axis' are there to help you learn the key terms. Therefore, I would only recommend using the terms 'Y axis' and 'X axis' when you are more advanced in APDD, and are more comfortable and knowing with / of the key terms.
Bar Graph Key Terms
Hello, class! Today we will be revisiting everything we have learnt about bar graphs and observing our key terms. Our key terms are our most important words and aspects of our bar graphs.
Title - The title will be what you name your bar graph. The title is often based off of your subject of your flowchart that you made for an investigation.
Horizontal Axis / X Axis - The horizontal line on a bar graph, usually 'holding' the bars on the bar graph.
Vertical Axis / Y Axis - The vertical line on a bar graph, usually showing you the scale on the bar graph.
Horizontal Axis Title - What you name your horizontal axis, such as 'Colour' or 'Animals'.
Vertical Axis Title - What you name your vertical axis, such as 'Quantity'.
Scale - The quantity, often on the vertical axis.
Bar Labels - The labels you give the bars on the bar graph, such as 'Orange' or 'Blue'.
Bar and Line Graph Combo - The combination of a bar and line graph.
