World History and Wolfram Alpha

Mrs. Magee and Ms. Volker's 6th Grade Ancient Civilizations class is studying the use of charts and graphs in historical studies.

2. Students will compare population, literacy rates, life expectancy, and unemployment rates of five different countries they will study throughout the year.
3. Using data collected from Wolfram Alpha, students are creating graphs in Excel and an online program called Create a Graph.
4. The following is a link to the project site; http://sites.google.com/site/graphsandresearch/.

In Mrs Santora's class students are working on researching the Sister Kenny treatment while reading Small Steps by Peg Kehret.

• Mrs. Santora supplied links to resources and graphic organizers to the students, through Edmodo.
