Before we get started I review a spreadsheet with my students. The Microsoft Works spreadsheet screen is shown below. As shown below. After the framework of the spreadsheet has been completed each team will be given a station to begin their investigation. At each station is a computer.
Students save their information on a disk as they go from one station to another.
Students will rotate twice, today. Set-up four pumpkins per station. Which means one should have five stations. I usually use the cafeteria and lots of parent volunteers. At least one per station, when we are measuring.
