Slap Uk

SLAP UK stands for:

Scale - Have you chosen the appropriate scale and numerical integers? As a rule of thumb you should aim to go up in integers of 1, 2 or 5.

Line of best fit - Always use a ruler and a sharp pencil (unless the data points curve).

Axis - the INDEPENDENT variable ALWAYS goes on the X axis, and the DEPENDENT variable goes on the Y axis.

Points - are they neatly and accurately plotted?

Units - ALWAYS label your axes and include the UNITS. For example - Time (seconds)

Key - Not all graphs will need a key, but if there are multiple sets of data to be plotted on one graph a key should be included so that the person reading the graph is aware of which data refers to which variable.
