Slide 5
Click on the first slide in the second row (Text
and Chart). Click OK.
Click on the Click to Add title text box and type: Why
use strawberry jam?
Click on the · Click to add
text box and type:
100 Children and adults were surveyed to find out what goes best
with peanut butter: grape jelly, honey, strawberry jam or sliced
bananas (you don’t have to tap enter, as this is one
long statement).
Now we’ll make a graph to show the survey data.
Double click-on the Click to add graph box. A Datasheet
appears.
We are going to enter data for our graph in this
Datasheet. Click-on the box with "East" and
replace "East" with (type-in) Grape,
then "West" with Honey,
"North" with Straw,
and in the cell (box) below North (now Straw),
enter Banana. Now, click on
"1st Qtr" and type-in Best.
Now click-on the cell (box) in the "A"
column next to Grape and enter 33, then by Honey
enter 11, by Straw enter 46, and by Banana
enter 10. Your Datasheet should now look like this:
Note: As you are changing the labels and numbers you’ll see the
graph that appeared with this datasheet changing to reflect the
changes. This is an interactive graph. Really neat – you can see
your graph "forming" as you type.
We want a simple graph so we need to delete the rest of
the columns. To do this, put your cursor on the B in the Gray
area at the top of the Datasheet. Click and hold down the
left mouse button and drag right until B, C and D are highlighted.
Release the mouse button. Your Datasheet should now look like this:
Now tap the Delete key on the keyboard and the
columns you have highlighted will disappear.
Your Datasheet should now look like this:
Click the small "X" in the upper right hand
corner of the Datasheet.
If you did everything right, your graph should look like this:
Every now and then you might make a mistake in the
Datasheet. If you have "closed" the datasheet as we did
above, you can get it back by clicking-on the Datasheet button
below the Menu Bar.
This is the Datasheet button
You may or may not desire to alter the appearance of your graph.
Your graph may need some adjusting so that all of the
"words" show completely. You may want to change the size
of the box the graph is in, so click-on the graph. Click-on the
side, using the "grabber" boxes on the side like you did
previously, and drag the side until the graph gets larger. If you
make the graph wider, the word "Best" will move to one
line. Click-on the legend (the box with the grape, honey, etc.
inside) and move that whole box to the top right hand part of the
graph figure to make it more legible. Work with the various parts of
the graph until it looks OK. If you make any changes, click-away
from the graph to "turn off" the "box" around
the graph – so you can see the new slide button.
