Data trends:
We received a dataset about net larval macroinvertebrate data. We think the testable question was “Which method works better for each specific specie?” We were tasked with analyzing this data and looking for trends. We have found that the kick method is more effective, and therefore used more often. In addition, we averaged each dataset, and we discovered that the species that is the most numerous is the mayfly and the one that is the least is the sowbug. The mayfly was 62.06862745 and the Sowbug was 0.04901960784. So we decided to do some research on the Mayfly and Sowbug and we found out that out of all the macroinvertebrates in our dataset the Mayfly was the most …show more content…
In fact, this is the oldest group of winged insects alive today.
The larvae live in a wide variety of freshwater habitats, from swift mountain streams to lowland rivers, ponds, and lakes.
Many live under rocks, logs, and other debris
Mayflies feed only as …show more content…
With google slides we can include all of our discoveries about our data and at the same time we will be able to add images to add visuals to our project.
Reflection:
We idea really enjoyed the data jam process. Looking for trends in the data was challenging, but we were able to power through, and it felt even better when we were able to successfully find trends and patterns in the data.
