Interpreting graphs: What is the story that each of these graphs tells?
Working in small groups, answer these questions:
What time period is shown in this graph?
Where is the measurement being made?
What
parameter is
being measured in this graph?
What happens to it over the time period shown?
What is your hypothesis about what caused this to happen?
Measurements of what other parameters would help you test and verify your hypothesis?
