1. On graph paper, using a ruler, draw one x-axis (horizontal line) and 2 y-axes
(vertical lines) on each side of your x-axis. Make sure you have an even amount
of space for each month.
2. Label your x-axis with the first letter of each month from January to December.
Label the x-axis with Month, the left y-axis with Temperature (℃) and the right
y-axis with Precipitation (mm).
3. Following the image above, place a scale on both y-axes to represent the
minimum and maximum amount for each month.
4. Using a ruler, construct the bars for each month’s average precipitation. Colour
the bars in blue.
5. Plot the points for the average monthly temperature in the middle of each
month’s column. Using a ruler, connect each point with a line. Use red for your
line graph.
6. Label your graph with an appropriate title, i.e. Climate Graph of Ottawa, ON.
Name: ________________________________ Date: __________________
Based on the graph you have constructed, answer the following questions.
2. What month has the most precipitation? Is it rain or snow? How do you know?
3. Explain any trends or patterns you see between precipitation and temperature.
(At least two).
4. Looking at the graph, what climate region does Ottawa most likely belong to?
Justify your answer.
