Below is a sample CIRCLE GRAPH, also called pie graph, comparing Sky Conditions over two weeks (Sunny days, Cloudy days, and Rainy days) done with a spreadsheet program. Circle graphs represent the entire amount, or 100% of a certain data, which is then split into parts proportional in size to the amount that each part represents. In order to graph the data, you first need to enter the data into a spreadsheet. Note: you will get the actual numbers from the Weather Learning Log immediately after you complete your investigation. Here's an example of spreadsheet data.

This command will vary from program to program so make sure to review the instructions in your program. The spreadsheet program will then create a pie chart for you with the different sky conditions like this:
