World Biomes and Vegetation Zones Day 4
Objective(s):
Given a chromebook with access to Google Docs, students will be able to build a biomes spreadsheet with various customized cells, rows and columns as well as placing and formatting text within each cell as it relates to the information presented in class.
Rationale: Understanding the various functions and features of a spreadsheet, will allow students to access the tool for data input. In addition, understanding the connection between latitude, rainfall, temperature and vegetation, will allow students to gain a better understanding of where various products are grown and developed.
Evidence: Being able to manipulate a spreadsheet and customize it to receive data and display it in a structured way, is a great example of how spreadsheets can be used to categorize and display data in a logic and visibly pleasing way.
