- Click on the "+" in the top left of your Desmos graphing area, and add a table.
- Type in the data you collected in your lab.
- Below the table type in your generic best fit equation for your data. (Equation options: y=ax, y=ax2, y=a/x)
- Click on the blue "a" just below your equation to add an a slider bar
- Click in the a=1, a slider box, to adjust the range of possible a values as needed to find your best fit line

Complete your conclusion below. Use the sentence frames below to help you.
Claim: After investigating the behavior [describe what you did an experiment on here], I conclude that there is a [write the type of mathematical pattern that fits] relationship between the IV: [Write the independent variable here] and the DV: [write the dependent variable here].
Evidence: My evidence for this claim is that all of my data fits on a best-fit line that is [write the type of mathematical pattern that fits].
Mathematical Reasoning: This system of a [describe the phenomenon here] has the best-fit equation:Write here = Write herewhere [choose a constant to explain] is the [explain the meaning of that constant]. Additionally it makes sense that the pattern is [write the mathematical model that fits] because [use any science facts or knowledge to explain why it makes sense that the mathematical model fits].
Prediction: Using this model, I predict [rewrite your predictions].
Justification: My confidence in this prediction is [pick level from the table] because [label from left of the table] and [label from top of the table].
