Update for Online Classes with Science Jim

Hi folks,

I'm still trying to tweak all this technology so that everyone can have the best, easiest and safest experience possible so here are a couple of new updates.

1. The emails with the links to class seem to occasionally get delayed. To ensure that everyone gets the links to the classroom in time, I'm going to try posting the links to class to the Canvas site. I'm going to post these as announcements so they should be right there when you log in. Several folks have had their emails delayed for some reason and so they haven't been getting the emails on time. I'm hoping this fixes that problem. I will probably continue to send the links to class in emails as well.

2. Also, I am taking the online safety of the students very seriously. There are quite a few folks with malicious intent out there and I want to make folks as safe as possible. With that in mind I am going to begin taking the following precautions.

a. I am going to start locking the classroom about 5 minutes after class is to begin. If you are late to class PLEASE TEXT ME! (919) 907-3217 I will try to keep my phone handy so that I can let you in.

b. All attendants will be entering a waiting room before coming into the classroom. Zoom will alert me that you are in the waiting room and I will then click to let you in.

c. Use your real name or the name of your parent. Since I will need to recognize you to let you in, you must use your real name (first name is fine) in order for us to know you belong in class.


Best,

Jim Mueller

Update on Predator Prey graph

Hi folks,

Here's a bit more information as to what I'm looking for for the lab write up.

The bottom of the lab write-up talks about graphing and Excel.  Don't worry about that.  

I do, however, want to see a graph.  Just do one graph. Please plot predators and prey on the same graph.  
Let the x axis be the trials and let the y axis be the # of population.  
If you need to, you can use two different numbering scales on the y axis.  For example, if you have a max of 200 prey animals but only a max of 10 predators, the predators are going to have a lousy graph, so you may want to use a different scale for both. So for example, your prey scale may go from 0 - 10 - 20 - 30 etc.  But your predator scale would go 1 -2 - 3 - 4 etc.

What I'm hoping you can see from the data is that the predator and prey graphs should follow each other's trends.  As one goes up, the other follows, up to a point.  Then as one falls the other also falls eventually.   The graphs are dependent on one another.

Hand this in through Canvas when you're done.

Let me know if you have questions. 

Best,

Jim Mueller
