Finish Population Vocabulary

I will give you about 15 minutes to finish the Population Vocabulary then I will go over a PowerPoint with you. If you get this finished and have extra time; continue to study for next week’s states and capitals test.

Population PowerPoint

I will go over a PowerPoint about Population 15 minutes into class.

After the PowerPoint

Today you will be working in a new program. In this assignment you are going to learn the basics of Google Sheets. It’s similar to a program called Excel, but it’s a little easier to use. 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 Google Drive>Shared Drives>Videos>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Google Sheets

After you watch the video, you need to go to Google Classroom and open the Google Sheets assignment. I want you to create a document that has:

1. Three Headings- Countries, Population, $GDP    I want you to use size 18 font for the headings and make them bold. All other cell’s font should be size 12.

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. Next you are going to find the GDP per capita. That’s a fancy way of saying how much money the average person makes in a country. 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. You will need to change the numbers to “currency” inside of sheets. Also remember you can use ctrl+F to search for specific words on web pages.

-Make sure you change it so there are no decimals

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

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

After you finish, turn it in.

***3 Tips***

1. You can’t have the word million or billion in your spreadsheet. Make sure you only use numbers. If you include words in your cells, it will mess up the charts and graphs.

2. If you add spaces to your cells that don’t need to be there, it will mess up your charts and graphs. Don’t add spaces

3. Make sure that you only highlight the selected cells that have data. If you highlight extra cells that don’t have data, they will mess up the charts and graphs.
