Making Graphs
Before you jump in and start making a graph take a look at Kinds of Graphs. It is good to refresh your memory about different graphs and their uses because you don't use them all the time. If you still want to know more about graphs, spend some time looking at the "Graphs" slides by downloading the powerpoint presentation below.

Choose one of these files to download and save in your class folder. The simplest data to handle if you are making a graph by yourself would be Australian Population 1788 - 2007.
Australian Population 1788 - 2007 shows how the population has increased.
or
Regions of Birth 1999 - 2009 shows the global areas people living in Australia have come from over a 10 year period.

When you decide which type of graph best suits your data, highlight your data, then select the graph in Excel. Check the graph to see if it is showing you what you want. You will need to to create labels for the X and Y axis and a heading for the graph. You may need to ask the teacher for some help.
