ASKING AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS WITH DATA

Using graphs and maps of water quality data, students investigate relationships between variables to answer questions.

Learning Goals

Ask questions to determine quantitative and qualitative relationships between independent and dependent variables, using water quality indicators such as dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and salinity.
Analyze data using tools and technologies to make valid scientific claims about seasonal shifts in water quality and potential effects on aquatic organisms.
