Can you believe you have not graphed data since November 16? Well, the problem has been the orginial oysters were lost during the Nor’easter in Scott’s Creek. New oysters arrived in January from the Elizabeth River Project, but seem to be much smaller than what you are used to. We have gone from a bag of 1,000 oysters to 200. Therefore, you will need to start a new graph showing the new data until this point. Well, good luck.
The Oysters are Growing
The students at James Hurst Elementary measured the oysters last week before the storm came. You will be amazed how much they grew. Don’t forget to plot your new point on the graph.
Time to plot a new point
Can you believe it is time to plot another point? According to the data, your graph should be gradually increasing. Don’t forget to pick a question to answer from the lesson plan. Here are some questions you can use.
1) Is the graph decreasing or increasing? Why?
1) What is the total average of the graph?
1) How much has your oyster grown compared to when you first measured it?
Thank you Westhaven for measuring the oysters.
The Oysters have been measured again
Can you believe it? The oysters have been measured again by Victory Elementary. This time the average oyster growth was 18 mm.
The oysters have arrived!
The oysters have arrived and we are beginning to take measurements of the growth. Below is a photo of the beginning stages of the oysters for this year’s batch.
