Student Exercises

Here are some exercises that were assigned to the students. As a preliminary activity students were asked to make predictions based on what they already knew about fish and their need for oxygen. The object of these exercises was to familiarize the students with the concept of correlation through making graphs using Microsoft Excel, importing these graphs into ClarisWorks, and writing an explanation of how this information represented measured differences in related phenomena at several locations along Big Darby Creek.
