Your experiment should be in high gear this week! That's because in class on 5/20 you'll be presenting your preliminary data and figures. (Attendance is mandatory.) Please prepare a short 10-15 minute presentation on your current results and what you plan on accomplishing between now and the final project presentation. Make a short post on your project blog containing your preliminary graphs and data, and a few sentences of explanation.
This week, please also check in with your buddies. Make a post on their blogs with any comments or suggestions you might have about the progress of their experiment.
