We got round to looking once more at our Science Online resource over at Editgrid. I had some trouble yesterday with it so I thought I could try dumping the cache in Firefox and that worked really well.
So in the morning I pasted in the data which I added to Excel yesterday and sorted out an average and simple bar graph which you can see I have linked to below, also here.
Then the other year 6 class added their own data – we watched as it updated live, the children loved it and we talked about how the graph and average were also changing.
It would be great to be able to do this with schools in other countries – after all exercise is universal! SO GET INVOLVED – all the instructions are there for you to do the short exercises and then you can add you data into the pool.
Real data we can all share; to help better demonstrate how reliability is imperative in scientific results.
Sorry that it was a problem John – they have migrated servers apparently so there is a lot of disruption. Let me know how you get on.
Hi Tom,
I tried this at school today, unfortunately Edit grid was so slow it was unusable and kept dropping the connection. Win 2000 IE. I’ll try again in a few days but I have my doubts about being able to join in.
