Weeks 34-35 – Graph of LD50

For the final slide of the Toxin Research Project, you will create a graph of the LD₅₀ data from Slide 3.  You have many different options for creating the line graph, some of which include:

• Paper and pencil
• Google Sheets (video help)
• Desmos (how to graph points)
• NCES

Instructions for Slide 4:

• Add Slide 4 to your Google Slides deck and title it “Graph of LD₅₀“
• Add your graph to Slide 4.  A complete graph includes:
  • Graph Title
  • X-axis Label (body mass (kg))
  • Y-axis Label (lethal dose (mass units from LD₅₀ numerator))
  • Three coordinates (x,y) = (body mass, lethal dose) from Slide 3
  • A line connecting the three points
• Determine the slope of the line.  What does it mean?

You did it!  Congratulations on completing the Toxin Research Project.  Be sure to share your Google Slides with Mr. Swart at david.swart@g.highlineschools.org and you should also share your hard work with everyone at home!

When finished, return to Weeks 34-35 – How Much Is Too Much? and continue working.
