Her teacher suggested that she redraw her graph as a line graph. Why should she redraw the graph?
A line graph looks better in a scientific report.
She was measuring a rate of change.
She had graphed the wrong relationship.
Her experiment had many different variables.

She was measuring a rate of change.

Because CO2 production was measured over time (a continuous variable), a line graph is the correct way to show how the value changes and to display trends/interpolation. Bar graphs are for comparing discrete categories, not continuous change.
