First Day with Computers

I really think we enjoyed our first computer based lab, but we have some work to do to really understand how to use excel to create graphs. Don't worry we will get there with all the practice we are going to get.

For you parents the gist of what we did today. We obtained data from just flipping a coin. We then converted into usable information (coordinates for a graph). Then we used Microsoft excel to generate a simple scatter graph. We all got it eventually but it will be second nature by the time we are done.

Tomorrow is drill day so wear comfy clothes and we will get to work on our first unit!!

Day 2

Today we did our first lab. Using Graphing skills.

We covered how to create a line graph and a bar graph. Remember the x axis is always flat and the y axis always runs straight up and down.

Labs were turned in and most seemed to have no problems.

Tomorrow we will be applying what we learned today to the computer.

Dont forget Thursday is drill day and to wear your tennis shoes because lots of walking is in store!

First Day

I am sure everyone was exhausted at the end of the day, I know I was. Overall things went smoothly here in the Biology class. I handed out syllabi and asked for them to be returned signed tomorrow. Parents please send me your email if you haven't done so, it makes communication so much easier!!!
