Google Spreadsheet 50

Share pulse rate data, use a single shared spreadsheet for the whole class.Add student's names in the first few columns.Add Pulse Rate 1, Pulse Rate 2 ...along the column headings.When exploring resting pulse rate or pulse rate change ask the whole class to add their data at the same time.Pooled data could then be analyzed, averaged, charted and explored.The sharing of data from peers helps students to think about the accuracy and reliability of science data and to deal with a larger data set quickly.

Share and collaborate with your studentsAsk your class to individually work and finish the sentence: "I am Unique because...“ they add 3 different answers.Not only will you learn about your students, but as it is shared they will learn about each other.

Unlike Spreadsheets with cells and Presentations with pages, Documents are an open space, and can sometimes exacerbate communication problems when collaborating.

Consider a TABLE when you are working in large numbers in a Document. Adds structure to a page by adding a TABLE or simple headings to where people are working.
