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.

Temperature Change Lab and Excel
The 6th grade Science students used Excel and Word to prepare a formal lab report. They transferred the data they recorded in the classroom to an Excel document and then they generated an XY Scatter graph. Later, the students copied and "pasted special" the data table and graph into a Word document, where they added information about their hypothesis, procedures and materials. Finally the students handed in their lab reports to the teacher, via the teacher's drop box. This lesson took three class periods to finish.
