Excel Spreadsheet

I began to create an excel spreadsheet regarding geography pertaining to my theme culture. I was a little stumped so I chose the square mileage of certain countries, my chart has the actual mileage and a slot wherein I guessed what the mileage could be.

The excel spreadsheet and google docs are great tools I have learned in this class, and can be introduced to the students. These are both great tools but excel, excels in math, since this is a new to me I stuck with the basic addition and subtraction formulas. It can also be used in science for the same formulas and calculations. It can be used in social studies and geography. They can do online research or research the old fashion way from books from the library and input data into a spreadsheet. Basically learn the basic and you can just grow and incorporate more ideas. I can take this through the Inquiry based approaching with the premise "need or want to know".

My 3 guided questions pertaining to my existing spreadsheet:
1. Where is my country?
2. How big is my country?
3. Which country is bigger my home country or the U.S.?

Here is my chart (graph)and spreadsheet:
you can see the chart by clicking on the bottom of the page where it lists chart.
These is a generic spreadsheet but you can see where this can take you in a project, especially when you have a little more time to research and plug in data.
