This resource, a MS Excel refresher, extends the level for this Data Nugget. Students are given an Excel workbook with the data and asked to graph and calculate diversity using Excel functions (rather than drawing graphs by hand as in the original data nugget). The data set used is the same. I use this activity in an upper division Environmental Science course for majors that focuses on Restoration Ecology. The simplicity of the data set and the comparisons of reptile diversity among urban, non-urban and urban rehabilitated lend for a great example for doing calculations in spreadsheets.
