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.
