Population Profiles
How to draw a population pyramid:
1. Draw a horizontal axis and add the scale. Remember to start in the middle with your scale and represent the males on
the left and the females on the right.
2. Draw two lines in the centre of the graph as your vertical axis. Label the age groups starting with 0-4 years and then increasing in 5 year age groups up the graph.
3. Using the data plot the bars with data for males on the left and data for females on the right. Don’t forget to label your graph!

Climate Graphs
A climate graph is a graph which shows the annual rainfall and temperature at a particular location. The rainfall (or precipitation) is indicated by a blue bar for each month.
The temperature is indicated by a line on the graph showing the temperature for each month. This line is red.
The months of the year are on the bottom axis of the graph. Temperature is usually on the right axis and rainfall is usually on the left axis.
