IB Physics (2025-) - Microsoft Excel skills tutorial for students to plot graphs

I have found that my IB physics students do not know how to use Microsoft Excel well in order to plot graphs of their data in their internal assessment.

I created this tutorial for my students to walk them through plotting graphs.

This includes:

• basics: how to add a title / how to add minor gridlines / how to add a line of best fit
• how to format your trend line to ensure students extrapolate their trend line through the y axis & show the equation of the line
• how to add custom individual error bars on each data point
• how to add worst fit lines that pass through the error bars
