Using Blogs Creating Timelines on-line

Web- Quest Virtual Chemistry Lab

Using online sites to gather information into excel NASA Website

Matisse Enzer’s Glossary of Internet Terms puts it this way:

Blog -- (web LOG) A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of

updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically

updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background

to update and maintain the blog.

Having web blogs has an assessment tool can save many trees.

My first Blog account was created when I took Marine Biology here at NMC in Fall 2007. It was a great experience for me because I had no

knowledge of what is a blog. Got more exposure to different blogs and learned more

about why and how people created their blogs.

Below is a link to my blog (please click on Tides of the Pacific)

Click on the link above to create timelines

– Web Quest

.is a great activity to extend your Unit to the Web

Shaping History

Let's Get Started!

TIDESUse the site above to get resources on tide data and paste

onto Excel

Microsoft Excel is another software that we can use in teaching science. When inputting data it will

automatically set for you.

Go to next slide for steps for the Tides Activity

1. Go to http://www.mobilegeographics.com:81/locations/5484.html and copy and paste the tide data at the bottom of the screen.2. Paste it into Excel and create 2 new columns listing the height and time. 3. Use those two columns to create a line graph showing the tide interval. If your graph shows a pink and blue line called 'series 1" and 'series 2', remove series 2.4. Label the graph Tides, x-time and y-height 5. copy and paste graph into Paint and save as a jpg file.

6. Go to www.blogger.com and create a blog for the class. 7. For your first post, upload your graph and answer the following questions:a. What is tidal range?b. What causes high and low tides?c. What causes Spring and Neap tides?d. How does tidal range effect the types of organisms and the shape and size of the organisms?
