Prompt used to create this resource

Revise this 4-day screen time data project for 7th graders with simplified language and instructions. Include 5 pre-made data tables with sample screen time data (showing different apps, categories, and minutes used) so students can focus on learning spreadsheet skills like freezing, sorting, conditional formatting, and charting rather than data entry. Simplify the explanations and reduce jargon while keeping all the core learning objectives about data analysis and visualization.

Description

This learning resource provides a detailed framework for analyzing personal screen time through a structured four-day project plan. Students begin by exploring sample data and collecting their own screen time data. They use basic spreadsheet tools to analyze and visualize the patterns in their digital habits, employing techniques such as freezing header rows and conditional formatting for better data organization. By the end of the project, students create various charts to represent their findings and reflect on their screen time usage, promoting awareness of their digital behavior and encouraging mindful technology habits.
