TODAY IN SCIENCEYOU WILL NEED:
Pencil, Calculator, Log #4 BioTransgenic Corn Conclusion – 1 pg
1 side - Bookshelf Biotechnology Lab – Picked up last
week-You should have 3 pages 6 sides
Please sit in your normal seats for taking roll.
Reminders Signed and Corrected Test #3 –
Due tomorrow Check grades on-line for accuracy Progress Notice to be sent home
next week on Tuesday- Signature will be required
AnalysisGraphing Results can be visually quantified by using the averages for each corn crop type. You will be constructing a bar(column) graph that shows the comparison yield for crops with no, low and high ECB infestation.

Record all the AVERAGE numbers in this chart for each corn….paying close attention to the infestation level.
Creating your graph (Visuals follow directions)
1)Make sure ALL your averages are filled in to the organization chart
2)Open up Excel or Google Docs spreadsheet1)The directions for each of these is a
little different but easy to figure out.3) Input the data from your organization
chart into columns A,B, C and D on your each spreadsheet. (see next slide)

3)Highlight all information (A1- D5)4)Insert “chart” COLUMN GRAPH5)Make sure to have a Title, subtitle
(put both partners names on the graph and print 2), X axis label, Y axis label
6)Save Graph (should look like next slide if done correctly…with your labels included)
Creating your graph (Visuals follow directions)
Your graph should
look like this
however, your
labels should be
completed.
GRAPHING ON GOOGLE & EXCELChoose: Google Docs OR Excel
Graphing in Excel – PC1)Input Data
2)Highlight
3)Insert – Column Graph
4)Use layout tabs at the top to customize graph
5)When complete; move to a New Sheet and Print
Graphing in Google Docs1) Sign up for account
2) Select “Documents”
3) Click on “Create” – “Spreadsheet”
4) Input data –Col. A = Names of Corn
B = NONE Results
C = LOW Infes.
D= HIGH Infes.
5) Highlight Data
6) Click on Chart – Insert Chart Icon
7) Select – “Column Style Graph”
8) Customize – Name & Axis labels
TODAY1) All 8 experiments and Graph
should be completed.2) For the Final Piece of this
assignment you will be working with your Table Group.
3)Collaboratively, you will be creating a one page document that summarizes your findings as a table community.
Title: - Use “Cool Text” or “Word Art”
Include a Picture: Your Choice –Clip art or from the Interent
Explain: What is Biochemistry?
What’s the Problem the Farmers are experiencing?
Explain: What are scientist doing with the corn?
Define: What’s your team’s Hypothesis?
Insert Table: List of Pros and Cons for using BT Corn (use internet as needed)
Summary/Conclusion;
As a team: Suggest to the farmers the best course of action for having a successful yield of corn. Provide evidence that supports your suggestions. Always good to also include a counter argument . Use your data to recommend which seed farmers should invest in to not only gain a high crop yield but to also remain financially secure.
