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!!
