Posing questions about the role of cell wall thickening, xylem diameter, fiber abundance

Students ask questions about vessel cell diameter, fiber cell frequency or amount of cell wall thickening as it relates to support, transport, or resistance to drought as part of their learning about stem anatomy, to encourage them to look at those aspects and think about how they could be measured or changes/distribution/development be assessed

Vostok Ice Core Data

We have a dataset from the Vostock Ice Core where several atmospheric factors are reconstructed over 400,000 years.  Note that the current exercise has several quantitative/data goals already, but it is very “closed” in that all questions have an exact right answer (and all student output looks exactly the same, or it is wrong).  My goal was to make the exercise more "open".
