Description: Students use the Earthquakes data in their handout to create a database showing Western States earthquakes with a magnitude of > 7.0 in the past 100 years. Use the charts options in MS Excel to generate a 3D column chart based on the data in the handout. Students must show data value by using the “labels” option from their “Toolbox”.
They then copy and paste the chart to an MS Word file (shown in the example). They need to use standard reporting page set-up with a header, title and indented paragraphs with 1.5-2 line spacing. They must write an introductory paragraph, show the data table, and write a summary paragraph that extrapolates and describes at least 2 pieces of data shown in the table.
Reflection: In our third project we had to make a chart on excel and then copy and paste it to Microsoft word. To get the chart we had to go into charts after making two columns and it did it once we clicked on the chart we wanted. Once that was done we put it into word and wrote two sentences about the chart and two sentences explaining what the chart shows. I think I did good on this project for our second database project because i came into this class with no experience on databases and now I know I can do it.
