Carry out an experiment in your science course. Design an effective experiment, identifying the
independent and dependent variables. Carefully observe and measure each of the independent
variables. Build an appropriate table for organizing the data. For your analysis, transform the data
as needed to produce the final publishable table of data from the experiment.

Clean up you computer file system. Complete an audit of your files: identify the set of types of
files, their location, and when they were created. Make sure that you are thinking beyond just
your computer to include other devices like your Smartphone, iPod, a Cloud or any other device
that has files also. What is your backup system? Create an organizational structure that will meet
current needs and future needs as best as you can predict, including identifying who and how
others can share your files.
