1 ILearn/6 th Grade/Science Session 6 of 8 Google Docs and Spreadsheets in Action

2 Focusing Questions What are Google Docs and Spreadsheets? How can I use Google Docs and Spreadsheets in a Weather Unit?

3 Instruction

4 Framing The Session Participants will watch a model lesson where collected data is used in Google Spreadsheet in an open forum. After the model lesson on how students could use Google Docs and Spreadsheets to enter information on a weather exploration, participants will then use the data collected and stored in their notebook to practice using the program.

5 Teaching Today we will learn how to take sample information on a weather topic to create an interactive spreadsheet for the class to use to produce a Google Spreadsheet.

6 Opening Docs and Spreadsheets Sign into your Google Account Click on My Account Once your services load, click on Docs and Spreadsheets to open this service

7 Create New Document Click on New Spreadsheet to create a Weather Patterns Spreadsheet. If you wanted to add a word document, simply pick New Document. You can also upload an existing spreadsheet or word document to your account by clicking on Upload and selecting the document you want stored in your online folder.

8 Setting Up the Spreadsheet Create a Spreadsheet that fits your Lab Requirements

9 Invite Participants to Spreadsheet Use email addresses to invite groups to add information to the spreadsheet you created

10 The Data Notebook Open your Google Notebook and find your science notebook that holds the information you collected for the Science Lab

11 Transferring Data Open the data you collected and decide what information you should transfer to the spreadsheet

12 Sample Entry After you place your data in the spreadsheet, click save and close to upload your data to share.

13 Guided Practice

14 I will create a document that we will be using in this session. You will come up one by one and type in your email address in the invitation area so you can be a contributor on this document After all the emails have been entered, I will send the invitation and we are ready to get started!

15 Work Time

16 Step 1 – Use Google Earth and Weather Bonk to collect weather alert information to store in your Google Science Notebook. Step 2 – Once your invitation has been delivered, open the spreadsheet and enter your information. Step 3 – After you have entered your data, save your information by clicking save or save & close.

17 Work Time Continued Step 4 – If you finish early, you can leave a discussion topic by clicking on the discussion tab and typing your topic. Step 5 – Discuss the results and share your thoughts about this powerful tool and how you might use it in your classroom. Step 6 - If time permits, create your own Spreadsheet or Document to use in your classroom.

18 Share

19 Today we learned how to use student collected data in Google Notebook and invite students to share their data in a active, shared Google Spreadsheet. Now we will look at the sample we created and discuss it. Share

20 What did you like about this active spreadsheet? How would you use this in your science classroom? Do you see any potential problems? Share

21 How does this work address the questions that began the session? Answers
