| Oklahoma PASS Objectives Science XI. Characteristics and Basic Needs of Organisms A. Plants and animals need to take in air, water, and food. In addition, plants need light. B. Plants and animals have features (e.g., breathing structures, limbs, skin covering, seed dispersal, roots, stems, and leaves) that help them live in environments such as air, water, or land. D. Scientists use the five senses and tools (e.g., magnifiers and rulers) to gather information, such as size and shape about living things. Math NPS Curriculum Science - The students will understand the concept of growth in the lifecycle of a plant. NPS Technology Students will enter data into a spreadsheet to produce a graph. |
Description: Students will plant
peas, record growth, and enter data into a simple
spreadsheet to produce a graph. Lesson
: 2. Students need to understand the difference between standard and non-standard forms of measurement. 3. Students measure their plant at intervals and record the growth in a journal (they can make predicitons for future growth as well). 4. Students enter plant growth amounts into a simple spreadsheet and produce a graph. To get to a spreadsheet, students need to go to (START>Common Programs>Excel). Next, students need to input their data into the cells starting with cell A1. 5. After all information is transfered to the spreadsheet, students can highlight the information they wish to graph and then select "INSERT" and then "Chart" to create their graph. Students can go to chart options to add titles, labels, and edit colors in their graph. Students can save work (FILE>SAVE AS), and print out their graph to take home (FILE>PRINT).
