Creating and Analyzing Climate Graphs

Mr. Trombley guides students through creating climate graphs using Google Sheets. The tutorial covers data entry, chart setup, customization, and separating data series for temperature and precipitation. It also includes adjusting axes, finalizing the graph, and ensuring consistency when comparing multiple graphs. The video provides tips and tricks to streamline the process and achieve accurate, visually appealing climate graphs.
