factors or the lack of an interaction mean in terms of what you observed, what you predicted, and the
outcome of your experiment? Identify the independent and dependent variables. On graphs, explain the data
points and the meaning behind the line segments. Use uniform scales when comparing graphs. Do not show
the audience all of your data. Show only what is important. If/when you show data tables, highlight or circle
(using animation) the data that you are talking about. Never list numbers.
 Circle back to hypothesis...How does your data support or reject hypothesis?
