Monday and Tuesday we spent some time reviewing how to use Excel to enter data and make graphs. Each student got a "fun pack" of M&Ms. After predicting which color would be the most prevalent, they counted up the totals, made tables and created three different graphs. They had to make a pie chart, a bar graph and a graph of their choice. Here is the handout:
Candy Graphing. Hopefully this will refresh their memories on how to use Excel and how to choose appropriate graphs for showing different sets of data. We are getting ready to start our bird studies and graphing is going to be an important part of their projects.
Last Thursday we wrote up our stream study reports. Overall that section of New Hope Creek was pretty healthy.
