Karen asked the teachers to mark on the plans when they would need help with technology and science. Then she scheduled visits for teacher training.

There are three kinds of questions we can ask about our scientific topics. They are descriptive, comparative and correlative.

Here are the simple descriptive questions each class is wondering about.;

This graph shows an example of a comparative question. We were comparing how many horny toads were seen in each month.

When Karen showed our data to scientists, they often wondered why we didn’t record sightings in the winter. They thought maybe we were missing some sightings because the farmers weren’t in the fields working. The students knew that there was snow on the ground in Waterville in the Winter. However, when they put average precipitation data and sightings on a graph, they saw no correlation. They realized that the temperature determijned if the precipitation was rain or snow. So they knew that they needed to actually put temperature data in with the sightings data.
