Teaching Scientific Concepts and Quantitative Reasoning Using Large Datasets and Inquiry-Based Learning

Students explore how climate is changing from the recent record. Produced by Project EDDIE.

Aquatic ecosystems are home to a complex intersection of physical and biological factors and an intersection of natural and anthropogenic factors. In the Chesapeake Bay, low oxygen events have occurred periodically and may be connected with harmful algal blooms, fish kills, heavy flooding/runoff events, and warming temperatures. Careful monitoring of the system by the Chesapeake Bay Program since 1984 allows scientists and policymakers to evaluate the causes of the events and monitor improvements in the health of the ecosystem.

Students practice and deepen their understanding of bivariate numerical data analysis (correlation, linear regression, etc.) through working with data related to climate change. Adapted from a module produced by Project EDDIE.

In this module, students will use an analytical framework with publicly available data to formulate questions, analyze data, and report metrics of sustainability.
