Severe Storm Data

The Lab Assignment.  See Intro video for assignment

Create a PowerPoint Presentation showing the results of at least 5 queries.  For each query use one slide to describe your query in the form of a question to be answered from the presented data, show and discuss the results of your query in text (a few words) and in graphical form on another slide or two.

All students must perform one query to see how reported numbers have changed over the 6 decades presented in the data set(50s 60s 70s 80s 90s 00s). See the last query in the power point below for an example of this (your decade query must be different than the example presented). 

Power Point  this is an example/template that you can use to get started.  Here's a short related video describing the power point file and the assignment format.

MS Excel for column chart  (this video discusses how this excel can be used as a template for other results Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 both have graphs that may be useful to you as templates.)

Submit your final PowerPoint to your instructor via Moodle
