1 | < | 1 | <p><strong>Focus:</strong> The students will analyze indicators of stream health from across the United States by plotting data and performing descriptive statistics and linear regression.</p> |

3 | <p> | 3 | <p><strong>Overview: </strong>This lesson centers around analyzing the correlation between different indicators of stream health. The students will complete a lesson in R to practice creating scatter plots and performing linear regression. Additionally, students will practice summarizing data, calculating outliers, and creating boxplots. They will apply the methods from prior lessons in the final lesson of the course to analyze stream data from Region 4, which contains Atlanta, more independently. </p> |
