About This Lesson

In this performance task, students will investigate factors that affect invertebrate life in coastal streams. Students will use LabQuest probes to perform the following tasks:

Measure temperature
Measure PH level
Measure Oxygen level
Measure salinity

Students will record data collected in a graph or spreadsheets. Students will then compare the effects of the above variables to the amount of invertebrate found in each different parts of the stream and draw conclusions based on their findings.

Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.

6.SP.1

Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers.

6.SP.6

Analyze whether a game is mathematically fair or unfair by explaining the probability of all possible outcomes.

A.1

understand chronological frameworks for organizing historical thought and place significant ideas, institutions, people, and events within time sequences;
