For my IB Biology Class - 5.3 Populations. To be used in conjunction with the Excel StatBook. (http://i-biology.net/ia/statexcel/).
A series of hemacytometer slides to allow students to practice counting populations and plotting their growth.

12. Raw
and
Processed
Data
Our
cell
counts
took
us
up
to
half
an
hour
per
sample.
To
get
‘sufficient
relevant
data’,
we
would
need
to
count
5
x
5
samples
a
day.
To
be
really
reliable
we’d
need
to
do
each
of
those
five
'mes.
Even
IBDP
students
can’t
work
that
hard!
The
following
slides
are
a
simulated
set
of
data.
They
will
allow
us
to
make
use
of
a
full
set
of
data
for
DCP.
Get
comfortable…
Use
the
tools
in
the
Excel
StatBook
to
work
with
the
data.
