Candid Camera: Capturing the Secret Lives of Carnivores
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This is a Wisconsin-based case study with data on how the size and distance of an island from the mainland can affect the number of different types of carnivores found on the island (Species Richness). Students are asked to graph data collected from the Apostle Islands and make a claim evidence and reasoning statement supported by data.

This is a Data Nugget that features Lexi Passante from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She shares her data on the impact of road salt on ecosystems near paved roads in Wisconsin. Salt is applied to roads in snowy climates to help keep them safe during the winter. When the snow melts, salt makes its way into local rivers. Halophiles, or bacteria that thrive in salty conditions might be a good indicator of how much salt is in a particular waterway, telling scientists when certain areas have become too polluted with salt.

This is a publicly accessible website that contains wonderful, Wisconsin based data. Maybe the writing from another Wisconsin HS science teacher provides some ideas for how these data could be used.

The end of winter as we’ve known it? ‣ Data Nuggets

Lake Superior plays a vital role in the lives of people who live and work on its shores, and therefore all sorts of data are recorded to help understand and take care of it. Forrest, a high school student, used data from archives to figure out if the ice season was getting shorter each winter in his home town. The length of the ice season is important because it frees the island residents from working around a ferry schedule, allowing them to drive on the ice to get to the mainland.
