For this project, students will conduct some Internet speed tests to collect data. Students will enter this data into an Excel spreadsheet to organize the data. After all students have entered their data, students will learn how to add important formulas to analyze the data. Students will also learn to create charts and graphs using the data.
Please use the following website to conduct the speed test: Speedtest.net.
