The Plot app: a data table beside a graph with error bars and a best-fit line through a V–I dataset.

What is plot45?

One experiment, start to hand-in.

The easiest way to plot your science lab data, just the way your teacher expects

  • Type your data into Plot45 or copy and paste from a spreadsheet
  • Enter data as multiple trials or a single-trial experiment
  • Enter measurement uncertainties and add error bars to your graph
  • Add a linear fit to your data and include the maximum and minimum slope lines
  • Or choose another fit type, like exponential or logarithmic
  • Customise your graph, its axes titles, and gridlines
  • Export your graph as an image or add it to your lab report on Plot45

Sketch a neatly labelled diagram of your experimental setup

  • Choose from a collection of pre-drawn lab equipment or create your own using the drawing tools
  • Edit the colours, the line thickness, and the layout to make it yours
  • Add labels with a rich text editor, including subscripts and superscripts to make your units and chemical formulae look the way they're meant to look
  • Export the image to your computer or add it directly to your lab report on Plot45

Put everything together in a lab report without needing a course on how to do so

  • Type your report out and let Plot45 take care of the formatting
  • Easily insert citations in APA or MLA format and get a bibliography added to your report automatically
  • Insert equations, tables, and images
  • Add a cover page with your details displayed neatly
  • Best of all: directly insert any graph or sketch made with Plot45 into your lab report
  • Save the report as a PDF or submit it online directly to your teacher
