Data, or it Didn’t Happen This lesson is aimed at helping students improve their skills with claims, evidence, and reasoning.There are two case studies available, one on ocean acidification and one on invasive species. Students will watch an introduction video, read and explore information on the topic, then answer prompts based on data (temperature, salinity, and pH for ocean acidification, mud shrimp sampling with carapace size and sex for invasive species).
