Healthy Habits (Updated!)

Spreadsheets are powerful organizational tools that allow the user to manage and understand large amounts of data. In this lesson, students will conduct a survey, create a spreadsheet, and input data into the spreadsheet in order to analyze results.

Application Exercises give students an opportunity to apply concepts they have learned in previous instruction. Work completed by a student will be graded through a variety of scoring options including participation and teacher assessment via rubric to provide flexibility with the type of grade sent to the Learning Management System (LMS) gradebook. Student work may include open-ended questions, correct/incorrect responses, a final product and/or self-assessment.
