Super Spreadsheets!!!!

Creating a spreadsheet can be very difficult. Working with numbers and functions are not my specialty, but somehow I was able to get through this assignment. Spreadsheets can serve many purposes, such as monitoring your finances, creating your own grading system, and basically to manage any kind of important data.

Incorporating creating spreadsheets in the classroom will allow students to substitute their calculators for a spreadsheet program. Inquiry based learning will definitely be the center of attention when using spreadsheets. Both support the main elements of teaching students to learn through a hands on approach. Three questions I would suggest students to consider while tackling a spreadsheet are:

1. Which plant or flower grew the fastest/slowest in 6 weeks?
2. Determine the hottest and coolest days along with any rain, and the positive or negative affects the weather had on the plants during a 6 week period.
3. Create a budget of all the necessities to grow a garden. Your allowable budget will begin at $100.
