Description-

Students use Google Search with the search terms Oregon Counties, to find the population of the following Oregon Counties: Douglas, Lincoln, Jackson, Lake, Lane, Linn, and Marion. Students need to set up a database in Excel using the category headers “County” and “Population”, add the data, then choose which type of chart they think best shows the data in chart form (column, pie, etc.). 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.

Counties

Reflection- For this project, we researched the population of specific Oregon Counties. 🙂 We entered the data into Microsoft Excel and choose any graph format that we liked and thought displayed the data best. ➡ 💡 ➡ 💡 I chose a line graph like the one I used for Eugene Temperatures. 💡 💡 After that, we put the graph into Microsoft Word and wrote a few sentences about it. Lane County is the most populated, which is the county I live in. 😎 😀 😉 I liked this project and working in Microsoft Excel making graphs.
