Visualizing Lab Data with Tableau

This lesson will give students the opportunity to use the functionalities of Tableau to do visual presentation and analysis of real data that they obtain from experiments done in class. I will be using the Canvas Learning Management System to help implement this lesson and guide students through the steps required to submit their work. Working in groups of 3 to 4, students will collect data by performing an experiment. Data will then be organized in Tabular form in Excel followed by displaying the information on a Tableau Dashboard. Students will interpret the information, draw conclusions, and determine how this information is beneficial. Students will thus develop fluency in working with data and hopefully be able to understand the importance/benefits of visualizing data.
