Artifact 1: Data Decoding Test
- Artifacts from published research will be presented and questions will prompt you to do the following:
- Identify basic features of a table, graph, or diagram (headings, units, labels).
- Select a single piece of data (numerical or nonnumerical) from a simple data presentation.
- Determine how the value of one variable changes as the value of another variable changes.
- Identify and/or use a simple mathematical relationship between data (i.e. direct, inverse, positive, negative, linear, logarithmic, exponential).
Artifact 2: Summary of Results
Note: A summary of a data representation should not include any of your own opinions. - Include a screenshot of the data representation.
- Describe the purpose of the data representation.
- What story is the data telling you?
- Describe the following components:
- Variables tested
- Relationships between variables
- Features of the data (i.e., maxes, mins, and trends).
- Why do you think a scientist selected this format (e.g., bar graph, data table, scatter plot, or diagram) to communicate the data?
