Scientific Method I and Graphing

Instructions
In the Week 1 learning module you should see 3 important documents: 1) The Introduction to Graphing Lab Handout, 1) Introduction to Graphing Lab Report and 3) Mythbusters Lab Report. Note that the lab report documents are not the same as the lab handout documents, so be sure that you’re looking at everything. You need to work through the lab handout documents with all of the directions, but you only need to turn in what I ask for on the lab report documents.
Complete the Introduction to Graphing Lab Report first so that you can apply what you learn to the Mythbusters Lab Report. To complete the Introduction to Graphing Lab Report start by reading the Background and Activity 1. You are responsible for the information presented in the Background and Activity 1 area of the handout, but you need only complete the work for Activity 2. We’re not graphing by hand at all this semester. Pay particular attention to the things that a good graph needs (like how to label axes and create a title). You only need to complete Activity 2 from the Introduction to Graphing lab handout. You should turn in your graphs by pasting them into the Introduction to Graphing Lab Report file and uploading that to this D2L assignment box.(5 pts).
Once you’ve worked through this introduction to graphing, move on to the Mythbusters activity so you can apply what you just learned. You should complete everything in the Mythbusters Lab Report (15 pts). Note that there is no separate lab handout here. You should upload the Mythbusters Lab Report to this assignment box as well.
Note: You should upload both the completed Introduction to Graphing lab report and the Scientific Method I:Mythbusters lab report to this Assignments box as either a word document or a PDF. No other formats will be accepted. You will receive a 0 for this assignment if you turn it in as a format other than a word document or PDF.
2 Helpful Hints:
1) The Introduction to Graphing lab handout does not walk you through how to create a bar graph in Excel, but you will need to make a bar graph this week. In the place where you select “Scatterplot”, just select the icon labeled “Column or Bar Chart”. You actually want to create a “Column Chart” as Excel calls it (Vertical Bars) so that your independent variable is on the X-axis.
2) To copy and paste a graph from Excel into Word, just select the graph and go to the File menu to copy it. Then go to your Word Document. Go nu and Paste it. I think that it is easiest to paste it as a picture. To do this, select Paste Special and dule.
