TEACHER'S GUIDE
Distribute the complete datasets to the class and lead a discussion about the difference in the three areas, and why it is important for the class/scientists to look at data from forested, suburban, and urban water areas.
Discussion
Before the slideshow when students are just holding the data:
“It is now your turn to work with the data. You will graphically represent and analyze the data that Dr. Kashual collected by studying forested, urban, and suburban areas.“
Question: What type of data are we looking at? How are the datasets different?
Answers:
- Seasonal data
- Forested/Suburban/Urban – different density of roads
