Eugene’s Daily Normal Temperature 1961-1990

Description:

Students use the Temperatures data set in their handouts to create a data set to show Normal Average Daily Temperatures in Eugene. The challenge is for students to figure out their category/column headers on their own, and make a line graph like the example in the handouts. Use the charts options in MS Excel to generate a Line Graph 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 this project, our fifth, we had to make a database about the daily temperatures of Eugene in 1961-1990. We first had to Make the chart, but we didn’t know what graph to use so you had to find the right graph based on the picture in the example. Once I did that I used The backbone of the windfall to make it easier on myself. I think I did good on this project because I took good care into it and I Found the graph with out assistance.
