Chart and Graph

AFTER you've done your research and concluded your experiments, it is time to prepare for the science fair. Ask specific questions about preparing for a science fair, including how to set up your display board, how to prepare a presentation, etc. (Please post questions about selecting a project or conducting your experiment by posting in the appropriate "area of science" forum.)

My daughter is doing the how salty water makes an egg float experiment. Her project requires a chart and a graph showing results. How would you create these using the results?

My suggestion would be:
Chart:
Column 1: amount of salt added to the water (assuming you added it slowly in small steps)
Column 2: The height of the egg measured from the bottom.

Graph:
X axis: The column 1 entries
Y axis: The corresponding column 2 entries

I hope that helps.
Kind Regards
