1. TODAY IN SCIENCE
YOU WILL NEED:
 Pencil, Calculator, Log #4
 BioTransgenic Corn Conclusion – 1
pg 1 side – Picked up yesterday
 Biotechnology Lab – Picked up last
week-You should have 3 pages 6
sides
 Signed and Corrected Test #3 – Due
Today

2. Reminders
 Signed and Corrected Test #3 –
Due Today
 Check grades on-line for accuracy
 Progress Notice to be sent home
next week on Wednesday-
Signature will be required

3. Analysis
Graphing 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.

attention to the
infestation level.

7. 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 spreadsheet
1)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)

10. 3)Highlight all information (A1- D5)
4)Insert “chart” COLUMN GRAPH
5)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)

11. Your graph should
look like this
however, your labels
should be completed.

12. GRAPHING ON GOOGLE & EXCEL
Choose: Google Docs OR Excel
Graphing in Excel –
PC
1)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 Docs
1) 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

13. TODAY
1) 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.

15. 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
