SURVEY PROJECT

You will choose a partner for this project (no more than 3 in any group).  In your group you will come up with whatever topic you wish to survey and you will survey the class to get their response.  Examples can be favorite candy, cars, colors, type of cell phone, music type, song, shoes, etc….. options are really endless.  Only one group per class can have the same topic.  You must have at least 6 choices for your classmates to choose from.

Ask each person in class, including yourselves, to vote on your topic.  (you can create an interactive Google sheet with your choices and share it with everyone in the class and they can vote on it, or you may print out a sheet and have each student vote)

Once everyone in class has had an opportunity to vote on every group’s topics you will calculate your results and create a Google Sheet or Excel spreadsheet to show your results.  Use borders, shadings, merging, different size fonts, etc to present your results.

You will then create two charts to show the results in picture form.  You will create either a Bar or Column chart and a Pie chart.  Make sure and title each chart etc….

Title this document Survey_whateveryourtopicis.  Each person will turn in this assignment so make sure you share it with each member of the group.

Instructions for final day of Stock Market Activity

Today we will finish out our Stock Market Activity.  You should have 6-7 day of prices to create a trend of your 10 chosen stocks.  Today we will complete day 6-7 of new prices, net worth, and profit or loss. 

Today we will insert 4 graphs that will hopefully show you a trend of what your stock prices did over a period of time.  You will insert 2 line graphs, a column graph, and a bar chart.

The first graph will be a Stack line chart with Markers.  You will choose two of your stocks and create a line chart that shows their price trend over your 6-7 days of data.  To do this you click on the first stock you want and then hold down the CONTROL  key and click on each days price going across your data (from the original price to your last days price) and then do the same thing for your second choice.  This should highlight all of the information for those two stocks.  You will title this chart Seven Day Price Trend.

Your next graph will be a 2D or 3D bar chart.    In this graph you will Highlight all 10 of your stocks then hold the control key down and then highlight each of the price columns from top to bottom.  Then insert a 2D or 3D graph and change the name to Seven Day Price Trend.

Your next graph will be a Column Graph.  You will follow the same instructions as the bar chart for this graph.

The final graph will be a line chart that show the trend of your profit or loss.  You will click on the Word Total in col B then hold down the control key and click on each of your profit or loss totals and insert the graph below the first three.  Title this loss Profit/Loss Trend.

Turn in lesson on Google Classroom under Assignment title Final Stock Market Activity.

Stock Market Day Two

Today you will need to add columns G, H, and I.  New Price Day Two, New Net Worth, and Profit or Loss.  Again use the text wrap feature to make yours look as close to the example as possible.


Today you will check your investments for day 2.  You will find the price for each of your stocks and enter them in to the New Price Day Two column.  You will then enter a formula in column H that will multiply the original number bought (Col E) times the new price (Col G), this will give you the new net worth of your investment.  To calculate if you are making a profit or loss your will place a formula in col I that subtracts the original amount spent (Col F) from the new net worth (Col H).  You will need to place formulas for totals at the bottom and format all of your information accordingly.  Any thing that is a $$$ should be formatted for currency and 2 decimal places anything else should be for general and 0 decimals.
