You should see a table like the one below. Look at the two locations shown for Darby Creek, Mile 21 and Mile 63. Now look at the amount of dissolved oxygen that was measured at each location. What is the difference? Now look at the number of fish, the number of darters and the number of taxa groups found at each location.
We want you to make a graph of this table to show how these measurements compare.
Check to be sure that the yellow area you have highlighted is the same as the outlined area shown
above. If not, try again.
Make some room for the graph you are going to make by clicking on the down pointing arrow at the bottom right corner of the window. Notice that there are some numbers going down the left side of the window. Move the chart up until the number 14 is at the top of the window.
Put the mouse pointer on the word "Options" and hold the button down. Highlight the words "Mark Chart" and release the mouse button.
A window opens with different kinds of charts in it. Just click the mouse pointer on "OK." and your graph will appear.
Put your mouse pointer on the "Edit" menu at the top of the screen and hold down the mouse button. Highlight "Copy" and let go of the mouse button. The computer memory has now stored a copy of your graph.
Now put your pointer on the "File" menu, hold down the mouse button and move the highlight down to "New." Release the mouse button.
A window will open that lets you choose what type of document you want to make. It is already set for youÑjust click on the "OK" button.
Now you are ready to type a title. For now, simply type "Darby Creek Project" then press the return key and type your name on the next line.
Press the return key twice. Put your mouse pointer on the "Edit" menu and hold the button down. Move the pointer down, highlight "Paste" and release the mouse button. Your graph should show up on this page.
Save your document by putting the mouse pointer on the "File" menu, holding the mouse down and sliding the pointer to highlight "Save." The "Save" window should open up. Just type your name (first and last) and click on the "Save" button.
First, use this instruction sheet to find out which columns show each measurement. For example, the first set of columns represents "Dissolved oxygen." Type a sentence under the graph that says something like: "Column #1 shows the amount of dissolved oxygen at the two locations in two different colors"
Continue writing sentences that explain what the other four columns show.
When you are finished save your work by going to the "File" menu, holding the mouse button down and highlighting "Save." You do no need to type your name again.
Quit ClarisWorks by putting the mouse pointer on the "File" menu, holding the mouse down and sliding the pointer to highlight "Quit." IMPORTANT!! IF YOU GET THE MESSAGE, "Save changes to 'Darby Chart 2 . . . ' before closing' YOU MUST CLICK ON "NO"!
