Using ICT with the new S1 Science class
August 25, 2006 by Graham Davidson
Today the new S1 Science class were being introduced to some of the basic science apparatus. This involved using a bunsen burner to heat some water in a beaker. They were to measure the temperature of the water every 30 seconds for 10 minutes and record their results. Once the water reached 100 oC they were to turn the burners off. Working in groups of 3, they each recorded their own results and next lesson they will be asked to draw a line graph of their results.
However, I have prepared a simple spreadsheet in Excel into which they will enter their group’s results. This will them average all the groups results together and convert them into a line graph. They will be using the Smart board to do this and they will all see the results instantly.
I tried to attach the spreadsheet to this post but it won’t allow it. If anyone would like a copy, please email me and I will forward it.
