The 4th and 5th grade students are continuing our unit on working with Excel. To shake it up a bit we started with a mini lesson on research last week – and students researched “best paper airplanes”. On Tuesday, students brought in their paper airplanes and each student flew their plane 2 times, counting the best distance of both. We measured and recorded our data.
Students then converted the data – recorded in yards and inches – to all inches. They learned the calculator function for this! Then after data was entered into the spreadsheet they created a bar graph. Finally, they worked on saving the spreadsheet to the proper drive and also saving the document as a pdf. They learned a lot and had a great time in the process!
