Oregon’s Population Extra Credit
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”.
Reflection: We had to use Google to get Oregon’s counties populations then put them in Microsoft Excel to make a bar graph. Then we put the information from Google into the bar graphs so that we got the right population.
