We're going to try something new.

Hi Everyone,
I hope you enjoyed your week off.  While we took the week off Mystery Class kept going so we actually have 2 weeks of data that we need to record.  And since we only have one hour of class to do all the things I wan to do I'm going to try something different this week.  I'm going to provide you with the data (photoperiods solved and everything) and I'm going to ask you to do your best to plot the data on your graphs.  Make sure you are only looking at the information for your specific class and pay attention to the dates.  If everyone comes in with their graphs done we can spend a few minutes making some observations and predictions and we can move on to new things.

Remember:
 1. I just want you to try your best
 2. We are collecting data, it should be need and organized (use a ruler and be careful not to color above the sunrise line or below the sunset line).
 3. Draw a line at the sunrise time (estimate to the nearest quarter hour) and color below that line.    
Draw a line at the sunset time (estimate to the nearest quarter hour) and color above that line. Remember we are coloring in the hours that the sun IS NOT up.  Do not color between sunrise and     sunset (that is the photoperiod, or the hours that the sun is up).
 3. If you have any questions email me, I don't expect you guys to have mastered this but you are all    very bright and capable of trying.
