Use this data about shy and bold fish to talk about statistics in a real situation while emphasizing percents and making predictions and graphs.
Practice finding mean while learning about plants, bacteria and their relationship.
Use the lesson outline at this link or have students work with the raw data to determine why some plant species thrive in areas and others do not.
What makes an invasive species so problamatic? Review this summarized data, work with finding means and percents and create a bar graph to determine a solution.
Learn about mutualism while doing statistics.
Students determine which type of substrate mollusks prefer while looking at this data.
Study the data to answer the question, "Are any perennial crops a good alternative to corn for biofuel production, and if so, why? How does the location of biomass production affect the outcome?"
