 * Excel Lesson Plan**

[] I found this site a good way to explain in an exciting way how to teach Excel and Spreadsheets, and to spread the importance of data management. Interpreting data as well as finding ways to manipulate and display it in interesting ways is important for the class to know. An interesting comment on revisiting the program also.
 * Extra material**

Show this at the end of the class as a reward, to show a class the other things that can be done with Excel. [] []
 * Excel Art**


 * VELS level 5**

VELS (Victorian Essential Learning Standards) level 5 is regarding standards for years 7 - 8 on what subjects to teach the students in the curriculum. As this is taught and explained further in year 8, it is also important to maintain students during level 5 on their abilities with Excel. []

"Students apply their knowledge of data characteristics to solving problems; for example, when calculating the time it takes to travel to a distant planet using various fuels, they elect to use spreadsheet software because it is designed to manipulate numeric data, unlike word-processing software, which is designed to format text."
