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- For this project, we used data that was given to us by Mr. Schiff. 😎 We entered the data into Microsoft Excel and turned it into a column graph. 😉 😉 Then, we put the graph into word and wrote a little bit about it. 😎 😎 I enjoyed using Microsoft Excel! 😀 I am excited for the next project!
