Stock Market Project

8th Grade Stock Market Project

8th graders have finished learning how to use Excel and Power Point.  They 
have learned how to do calculations, charts and graphs.  To enrich their 
learning, we are going to do a stock market project that will involve 
Internet research and data gathering followed by data entry and analysis 
using Excel and a presentation in Power Point.  Following are some web sites 
we will be using for this project.
