Our second graders are going to the neighborhood donut shop to learn about businesses in our community. We used Google documents to take a poll of the class’s favorite donut. I limited the number of choices to four: Glazed, Chocolate, Sprinkles, and Jelly filled. The students took the information and typed the Data into an Excel Spreadsheet to create a Doughnut Graph. I used the website http://videos.howstuffworks.com/discovery/30209-how-its-made-process-of-making-donuts-video.htm to show the process of making donuts. This page showed a link for the Twinkies which was actually the most popular requested website in my computer lab. This was a 40 minute lesson and could have easily been two lessons.
