Discussion<br />

It is a nice idea to use the View option on the RCX display as students are<br />

running their programs.That way, they can relate the values they see on<br />

the RCX with the graph values.<br />

Students must remember to click the Plus sign to add pages when they<br />

want to upload new data.You can see the data in many ways. Here is a<br />

chart showing the data points.<br />

Students can use the Investigator Journal to write about the project.This is<br />

an example of the Describe page template showing the Program page.<br />
