Use Data to Research
Learning Highlights:
- Access information in Excel using data types and data cards.
- Compare and contrast taxonomic data to explore differences and similarities of organisms.
- Use data cards to access geographic data related to orca sighting locations.
Learning Standards:
- Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships.
- Students collect data or identify relevant data sets, use digital tools to analyze them, and represent data in various ways to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making.
Use Data to Investigate
Learning Highlights:
- Investigate data to describe feeding relationships in an ecosystem.
- Explore multiple sources of data to explain how toxins can influence the health of populations in an ecosystem.
- Analyze multiple acoustic data to provide evidence for the effects of sound pollution on a population.
Learning Standards:
- Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem.
- Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations.
- Students collect data or identify relevant data sets, use digital tools to analyze them, and represent data in various ways to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making.
