Data Analysis: Deforestation & Oxygen Gas Human Impact CER Open Response
- Google Docs™
Description
Students identify the pattern between deforestation (decreasing area of forest) & decreasing amount of oxygen gas in the air. Using line graphs, students are guided in describing the relationship between two data sets to describe the negative human impact on ecosystems.
A claim - evidence- reasoning (CER) graphic organizer is provided to guide students' writing. Encouraged to incorporate evidence, students are also prompted to think about the importance of each element of the CER writing tool. This activity is chunked and guides students to reflect on their thinking.
