Google apps lesson plan 1

The following collaborative lab experiment was found on Google apps. Although it is geared toward middle school students, the process could easily be modified towards high school chemistry students.

In summary, the collaborative lab calls for the use of the Google docs spreadsheet in share mode. Students can enter the data from their experiment, and the entire class's data can be easily shared on one graph or spreadsheet. This process would be very useful when running an experiment across a large range of temperatures. Lab groups could focus on different temperature ranges, and the sum of the experimental data could be evaluated using the sharing of data on Google docs. This collaboration would allow larger labs to be completed in a shorter amount of time since different groups would have "parts" of the experiment, with everyone responsible for the finished product.
