Welcome to the MS Computer Lab Blog!

The objective of our blog is to share information about how we integrate our technology curriculum into the subject area curriculum. The foundation of this effort is the methodology of team teaching the lessons with the Middle School subject area teachers. Each post describes a particular lesson, the software used, some of the skills that were targeted, and the number of days that were spent in the lab.

Air Rocket Lab

The 7th Grade Science students built model rockets and did several launch trials. Different trial sets had different manipulative variables under observation and all this data was recorded and analyzed in Excel. Afterwords, the students wrote up a complete lab report in Word, using the paste special command to link their data table and graph back to Excel.
