Last week the class preformed the Generator Experiment. The generator experiment required a few things such as one generator which was an empty flash light with a part of it wrapped in copper wire with a magnet inside it. It also required a voltage probe, a NXT adapter, a NXT, and of course Excel. We first had to open up lab view and get the lab from the blog. After that was all set up we ten had to run lab view for 30 seconds while that ran we had to shake the generator as fast as we could and we had to count how many times we shacked. We then had to repeat that again but shake slower than the first time. But the first thing we had to do before anything was not even shake the generator what so ever. After we did that we opened excel and the data was imported in and we got the average. This lab was not that long at all my partner and I were done pretty quickly. The data we got I located below.

Your layout of the generator lab is confusing and hard to follow. Making the data huge like you did is hard to follow and you should’ve clearly stated the procedure of the experiment, for example its easy to read in numbers. You should have explained your data more. Overall you are on a good track with blogs! Just a little more work.
