Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi my project is about the effects of a pesticide on pest mortality.
I am looking at whether the pesticide kills the pest, and the time that it takes to kill it (according to different doses).
What kind of graph do you suggest?
Initially I thought of doing dose response but I'm not doing my doses in logarithms so that doesn't work.
My doses are 0, 0.25 g, 0.5 g by the way.
Would I do xy line graphs?
Please offer several suggestions. I am willing to research complicated graphs as well. Thanks.

Gracex235,

I am pretty familiar with graphing in excel so hopefully I can help you out. I don't see why you could not do a dose response graph. Unless I am misunderstanding your question it should be fairly straight forward to graph the mortality rate of all 3 doses on one graph. I created a fake graph with a mortality rate of 0%, 25% and 50% in both a line graph and bar graph version and added it as an attachment so you can see an example.

I hope that this helps. Please write back with additional questions or if this is not what you had in mind.
