Spreadsheets

There are a number of ways that we can use spreadsheets in the classroom. For example, I could have the students create a spreadsheet showing the amount of precipitation in a certain biome during each season. That way, they could show it on a graph which is a great visual way to present information. For me, I use it in the classroom to determine such things as groups for classroom projects and even for random seating arrangements. Another example would be to use it for science labs as far as figuring out materials needed for different sized groups.

Or you could have them model "what if" scenarios - as in what if we get too much or too little water.

Nice thoughts on spreadsheets
