Logger Pro file that you'll need  (right-click, "save link as..." and then open LoggerPro and open the file you just saved)
Work on collecting data today.  This will be a full lab write-up, like the aluminum density lab was earlier this year.  Data tables and initial graph will be due no later than Monday.  We'll be talking about your graphs a little in class on Monday. Final draft of lab will be due Tuesday, November 12--hard copy and uploaded to turnitin.com.

*note: there were a few typos that needed clarifying from the handout you got in class yesterday.  Make sure you've recorded those adjustments or ask questions if you're confused. :)
