Blue Planet Web Site AssignmentYou probably have been told
Blue Planet Web Site Assignment:You probably have been told or read in one of your science textbooks, the percentage of water to land on our planet. But rather than tell you, you are going to do an experiment and calculate the percentage for yourself.You will conduct this activity 3 times:·You will need to know how to calculate percentages·You will need to know how to calculate averages (mean)Web site to show you how to calculate percentage: http://www.mathsisfun.com/percentage.htmlHow to figure percentage: Example: Total Amount: Water 18 times Land 7 ( 18 ÷25) X 100 = 71% water Part 1: 20 pts (7 ÷ 25) X 100 = 28% land Trial 1 Total spot= 25 Amount of times spot landedPercentageWaterLandDoes this reflect the actual percentage of water at Earth’s surface?Explain why or why not.
