Analyzing Environmental Data

Making Sense of Environmental Information

Scientists collect data to understand environmental changes and make informed decisions. This might include temperature records, species counts, or pollution measurements.

Data Collection

  • Field studies
  • Remote sensing (satellites)
  • Laboratory analysis

Data Interpretation

By graphing trends and calculating averages, we can spot patterns and predict future changes.

Applying Skills

Analyzing real-world data helps students understand environmental problems and solutions.

Examples

  • Tracking the decline of a fish species in a river over time.

  • Comparing air quality data before and after new regulations.
