Remember…

Please do not… Change the background. Change the icons. Change the font. Use Times New

Roman (size 12 font). Use color. We cannot print in color!

Tips for the Computer

1. Save EARLY! Save OFTEN! 2. Be patient. Let the computer

complete a task before asking for more.

3. Technical difficulties are part of this project. If you run into a problem fix it and move on. This is not an excuse.

Making a Graph

1. Highlight your entire table again. 2. Click on the “Insert” tab at the

top of the page. 3. Find the “Chart” button and

choose “Column” and then choose one of the options.

4. Now you should have a graph. 5. To label your graph, click on the

“Layout” tab and look for “Chart Titles” and “Axis Titles” to complete your labels.

Remember…

The table will be water and air temperature, so it should be a bar graph!

If you have questions, ask your group first. If you cannot figure it out, then ask me!

Good luck!
