Excel Lesson Plan- Make Your First Chart

This Excel lesson plan teaches beginning Excel users to enter data and create a simple spreadsheet with a chart. The instructions are for Microsoft Excel, but the data and chart can be recreated using whatever spreadsheet app you have available. When printing the finished excel chart, be sure to have the students use "print preview" to check the proper positioning of the chart and data to fit on a single page before printing. I have used this successfully with 2nd and 3rd graders, but your mileage may vary.
