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”.

Population

Reflection- In this assignment I had to make a chart/graph in Excel. We got to choose what graph/chart we thought would be best for the populations. I chose a bar graph.  I then copied and pasted it into Word and wrote a little into and what I noticed about the chart. I really like working with Excel and creating graphs/charts and I hope to do lots more in the future! 🙂
