Step 1
Look at the data to the right. See two sets of data: average monthly
rainfall in millimetres (mm) and average monthly temperature in
degrees Celsius (°C)
for each month? |
 |
Step 2
Draw up a set of axes to fit the data above. Label the months on the horizontal
axis between the divisions, the temperature on the left vertical axis and the
rainfall on the right vertical axis. |
 |
Step
3
Using a pencil, construct a bar graph showing the average
monthly rainfall for Sydney. Make sure you use the right
vertical scale to plot your data. |
 |
Step
4
Neatly colour the bars using blue pencil. |
 |
Step 5
Using a pencil, plot points
showing Sydney's average monthly temperature. Make sure
you use the left vertical scale and, most importantly, that you
put the small dot for each month in the middle of each column. |
 |
Step 6
Join up the dots with a smooth curve using a red pencil
to make a line graph. Do not use a ruler. Continue
both ends of the line to the edge of the graph by continuing
the trend shown by the graph. |
 |
Step 7
Complete the climate graph by labelling each axis and adding a
suitable title. |
