Harvard Forest Schoolyard Ecology : Data Level 3 Workshop, 2012
Graph 1
• Description of graph: The graph is a summary of 7 years of leaf drop data. It shows the averaged dates of 50% leaf drop for red/black oaks and sugar maples. This date represents the end of the growing season for these species at Tewksbury Memorial High School. See data tables 1 and 2 in Appendix.
• Educational Objectives: This is my
last year of teaching and I would like to do final graphs of my 7 years of data in the most useful way to pass on to the next teacher. I want to verify beginning and ending dates for the growing season for each year, and graph this information.
• Implementation Plan: This graph will be used by future teachers and classes that are involved in the study to interpret and compare the data over the years of the study.

•Educational Objectives: Since the fall of
2010, we have data for most months of
the year. I would like to use it with
students to look at data and graphs to see
how the pool has changed over time. I am
interested in what the graphing
possibilities are and how best to teach
them and which graphs might best
communicate the pools history.
• Implementation Plan: I hope to have
students look at this and compare
with what they are seeing in the pool
this spring. Most won’t know that the
pool depth can change so dramatically
over time. They can also consider
whether depth is related to rainfall or
are there other factors that could be
important.

• Educational Objectives: Same as for Graph # 2.
• Implementation Plan: Students will use it this year it to interpret their observations and maybe also recreate their own graphs.

Graph 4
• Description of graph: Graph shows timing of fall tree color
changes from 2008 through 2011. See data table 4 in Appendix.
• Educational Objectives: . In general goal is to have students be able to read and interpret the data and graphs. This will be my 4th year collecting data, however about 50% of the original trees have had to be eliminated and change/leaf fall. replaced. I would like to compare each species during this 4 year period to examine any possible trends with fall data for color
• Implementation Plan: The graph will be presented to the students and explained. They will use the 50% leaf drop Julian day for the maple trees to create their own graph.

• Description of graph and related data table: Graph compares leaf drop
rates at 3 different geographical locations. See Data Table 6 in
Appendix.
• Educational Objectives: I would like to look beyond our data in Gardner and compare multi-year results from other locations to our multi-year trends at Gardner, to compare trends based on latitude and/or make comparisons to similar species in different locations altitude influences within the same year.

Graph 8
• Description of graph and related data table: This graph shows the fluctuation in the water temperature in relation to the time of year. See Data Table 7 in Appendix.
• Educational Objectives: : How to work with the data so we can follow changes in pond temperature. We also hope to figure out how to set this up so teachers and schools can access this data on the web. I’d be very happy if I can just learn to plot basic graphs related to temperature, pond depth etc.
• Implementation Plan: The students will use this graph to compare the temperature data that they collect. We also hope to develop graphs for the macro invertebrate so that the students may also compare that data.

• Educational Objectives: Give the students the chance to produce, for 3-years’ worth of data on their own study trees, an analysis that is similar to the graph that John O'Keefe showed us that represents his 21 years of data
• Implementation Plan: The students produced the equivalent of this graph in class, by hand, each year as a separate graph. The eventual goal is to have students create graphs using the computer.

Graph 10
• Description of graph: This graph shows the estimated date of 50% Leaf Drop for one tree over 3 years. We are calling this the end of the growing season. See Data Tables 8 and 9 in Appendix.
• Educational Objectives: Same as for graph 9 above.
• Implementation Plan: I plan to have the students create this graph, with the beginning and the end of the growing season, by hand this year and hopefully electronically next year. They will present "The Story of Our Tree" to the class. The attached graph is the one I'll show the students this year.

Graph 11
• Description of graph and related data table: The graph shows the date that 50% of the leaves had dropped for our study site. See data table 10 in Appendix: Table 9 shows the dates of color change and leaf drop for a black birch tree for 2005,2006, 2007. Tables 10 and 11 calculate the Julian day that 50% of the leaves had dropped for that particular tree that year.
• Other notes: Early data for Briggs had missing data, and there were some years that A and B branches were not combined for particular trees. New trees were used over the trees because of damage. A couple more years of consistent data will be very helpful.
• Educational Objectives: I would like to look through the data we have for the buds protocol through the years and see if I can come up with some comparison graphing exercise I can do with the kids. One of the issues I have is that they are different trees.
• Implementation Plan: The graph
will be presented to the students and explained. They will use the 50% leaf drop Julian day for the maple trees to create their own graph.
