Have you ever taken a watch apart? If you do you will see lots of little parts. If each part is not in its correct position, the watch will not work. You start with a series of interlocking wheels with little spokes. The wheels are connected with little springs. A tiny piston turns the wheels using the spokes and the rotation of the wheels move at small intervals to keep the time. The piston, on a wind-up watch, is connected to a little knob that the wearer of the watch turns to move the piston which then moves the wheels into motion and the wheels stay in place because of the springs. Which type of graph would best illustrate the workings of a watch as described here?

Pie:  A pie graph (or circle graph) uses “slices” or “sections” to show size.  For example, if you wanted to divide a pizza up to feed ten people, one slice of the pizza would be equal to 1/10 of the pie.  The pie would be divided into ten equal sized sections with each section showing a percentage. Flow:  A flow chart is a series of pictures, shapes or subjects that are connected by arrowed lines to show the order of the pictures or shapes or subject.  A common flow chart would be a family tree showing the history or flow of ancestors.
