Week 8

Today I’m going to go over a PowerPoint presentation with you. I want to make sure that you understand all of the concepts related to population. Go ahead and submit any assignments that you finished on Friday. After that you need to sit quietly and we will begin shortly.

We should have time after the PowerPoint for you to start the next assignment. We will work on this assignment the next couple of day of class. In this assignment you are going to learn the basics of Microsoft Excel. Most of you have never used this program before. The first thing I want you to do is to watch the tutorial video that I made. Go to the Video (V) Drive. Inside the Video Drive, I want you to click the following: Video>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Excel Basics.

After you watch the video, you need to open Microsoft Excel. It opens the same way as Word and PowerPoint. I want you to create a document that has:

1. Three Headings- CountriesPopulation$GDP    I want you to use size 18 font for the headings and make them bold.

2. In the countries column there are 15 countries I want you to include. They are: United States, China, Japan, India, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, Russia, South Africa, Germany, France, and United Kingdom.

3. In the population column, you need to go to Google and type <name of country> population. Type their exact population next to the correct country in the population column.

4. In the $GDP column, you need to use this link to find the GDP per capita in each of the countries.  Type the GDP for each country in the column. Make sure you use dollar signs. If you want to you can do what I did in the video and highlight the column and change the numbers to currency instead of typing the $ sign.

5. After each column is finished, make a 2-D Column Chart for population. You will do it the exact same way that I did in the video.

6. Make a 2-D Bar Graph for GDP. You will do it the exact same way that I did in the video.

After you finish save it.  hr-last name-last name-Excel

Turn it in.
