Warmup
Using the data you gathered from yesterday's lab, calculate ∆T for the sand and the soil. Record this information in the observations section of your short report Google Doc.

Make Excel Table
Using the Excel app, make a data table using the guidelines in the short report manual. When you have finished, copy and paste this into your short report Google Doc.

Class Discussion
Vote: which would be better to build your shelter, sand or dirt?
Make a list of possible errors with the experimental design and setup.

Group Outline
On whiteboards, make an outline of the CER and PE paragraphs for this report. Remember, outlines should be BULLET POINTS, not complete sentences.

Write
Silently complete the CER and PE in your lab report. Use the outline you created with your group and the sentence starters provided.
