Guidelines for Making a Data Table
In most cases, the independent variable (that which you purposefully change) is in the
left column, the dependent variable (that which you measure) with the different trials is in
the next columns, and the derived or calculated column (often average) is on the far
right. Every table must have a title. The title must have the two variables of the
experiment in it. Every column should be labeled with a heading. The unit of
measurement that you are using should be written in the heading only.

Title: Clearly state the purpose of the experiment (e.g., The effect of ____ (independent
variable) on ______ (dependent variable).

Independent Dependent Variable (unit) Derived


Variable (unit) Quantity (unit)
Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3

Note: This data table format is adapted from Students and Research (Cothron, Giese, and Rezba, 2000).

Example
Title: The pH of Common Household Substances
