4th Grade Update- March in Review

For the past couple of weeks, 4th graders have returned to Excel to create their second set of graphs.  Earlier this year in P.E. class students collected data on how many times they could dribble a basketball with their left hand, their right hand, and both hands both at the beginning and the end of their basketball unit.  In technology class students entered the data in Excel spreadsheets and created graphs which are now on display on the walls of the Lower School gym.

In December 4th graders got an introduction to Excel, creating graphs from data they collected in P.E.  At both the beginning and end of their soccer unit, students recorded how many goals they scored in ten attempts.  In the technology lab they entered their data and created graphs comparing the two sets of data.  All graphs were printed and are currently on display in the Lower School gymnasium.

4th Grade Excel Project

A couple of weeks ago, 4th grade students visited the New England Aquarium on a science field trip. During their visit the students collected data on the frequency of jelly pulses. Upon their return, the students entered their findings into Excel spreadsheets, creating charts that compare the average pulses per minute for large jellies versus small jellies.
