Gallery of Data Visualization - Introducton. This Gallery of Data Visualization displays some examples of the Best and Worst of Statistical Graphics, with the view that the contrast may be useful, inform current practice, and provide some pointers to both historical and current work.
We go from what is arguably the best statistical graphic ever drawn, to the current record-holder for the worst. Like good writing, good graphical displays of data communicate ideas with clarity, precision, and efficiency. Like poor writing, bad graphical displays distort or obscure the data, make it harder to understand or compare, or otherwise thwart the communicative effect which the graph should convey. [See the Bad Writing Contest for examples of The Best of Bad Writing. See the ACCENT Principles for effective graphical display.] Do you know of other examples of the Best or Worst in Statistical Graphics on the Web? Create a timeline of famous scientific experiments. Track your family's water usage. Introduction Some of us take water, a basic necessity for sustaining human life, for granted.
We use it without thinking about it. What do you and your family do that uses water? How much water does each of these activities typically require? For example, how much water does a five-minute shower use? Computer Technology Assignment 1 - MrsRees ... - GoBookee.net.

Empowerstudents - Advanced Excel and Using Formulas. Excel lesson templateHow to enter formulas You are able to write any formula in Microsoft Excel.
Formulas usually have at least two parts: constants and variables. Constants are numbers, such as 12 or -5. Variables represent a number, such x or n. For example, in the equation 2 + x = 5, 2 and 5 are constants, and x is a variable that represents the number 3. Each constant and variable must have its own cell, or individual box in Excel. You can change the Sum function to one of the others by clicking where Excel displays Sum in the bottom corner: Sometimes, you may want to have one of these functions actually written into the spreadsheet. This equation will be the coding (the programming that tells Excel what to do) behind the cell. When you enter a formula in Microsoft Excel, it can only solve for one variable at a time.

Claris Works is often used for its word processing features but it is a wonderful tool to use for making graphs. The following steps can be used with students to have them create graphs of linear functions. Accompanying lessons on polynomial functions and/or exponential functions can be used separately or to compare the three types of functions.
Step One Open Claris Works. Make a new file. Select spreadsheet .
