Welcome!
                  To the Science Fair Graphs & Numbers Tutorial
     
     For your science project, you created three electromagnets made of
     three different kinds of wire -- Small, Medium and Large gauge. You
     tested each magnet to see how many nails it would pick up. You want a
     BAR CHART to show your results.
     
         YOUR  DATA IS...           1-2-3 steps to CREATE a BAR CHART:
      ----------------------        -----------------------------------
       MAGNET      NAILS            1. Create a NEW database
      ----------   ---------        2. Enter the data
       SMALL         31             3. Select the graph to display
       MEDIUM        38
       LARGE         51
     
     STEP 1: From the "FILE" pull-down menu, choose New Database. You are
     asked to enter the name for your new database. Enter a name, like
     "MAGNETS", of up to 8 characters. (No blanks in the name.)
     
     Choose the database type from a list of pre-defined databases, or you
     can create a custom database. To create a BAR CHART, choose the SIMPLE
     BAR CHART Option.
     
     STEP 2: ENTER DATA - This is where you enter your results of your
     experiment -- the data entry screen. Enter the data for the first
     magnet as record 1.
     
     Your first Label is SMALL (small wire)
     Your first Value is 31 (number of nails)
     
     Type SMALL (press Enter), type 31 (Press Enter), then enter the
     numbers for records 2 and 3. Press F7 (Exit) to end entry.
     
     STEP 3: CHOOSE WHAT GRAPH TO USE: For this example, choose the
     Descriptive Statistics and Graph from the ANALYZE pull-down menu, then
     choose the Bar Graph option.
     
     NOTE: Once the graph is displayed, you can use the menu at the top of
     the screen to change colors, patterns, titles, and so on for each
     graph.
     
     Science Fair Graphs & Numbers allows you to create these kinds of
     graphs and calculations:
     
         o Bar Chart, Pie Chart, Line Chart, Area Chart
         o Histogram, Box and Whiskers, Normal Curve
         o Cumulative Distribution, Stem and Leaf Plot
         o X-Y Scatterplot
         o Time Series Plot
         o Calculate statistics
