Data Tables and Graphing
Lab skills - Data Analysis
Data analysis is the process of interpreting the meaning of the data we have collected, organized, and displayed in the form of a table, bar chart, line graph, or other representation. The process involves looking for patterns—similarities, disparities, trends, and other relationships—and thinking about what these patterns might mean.
When analyzing data, ask students questions such as:
What pattern do you see?
What does this graph tell you?
Who could use this data? Ho

Biology Population Study on the Eastern Cottontail
Students will determine the population of the Eastern Cottontail for each month, up to 12 months, using the equation G = rN .
The Eastern Cottontail (Sylvilagus flordianus) has a gestation period of 26.5-30 days. Typically 4-7 young are born, usually 3-4 times per year. If the birth rate is exponential, the population of cottontails living in the field after 12 months, could be found using this equation:
G = rN
G = population growth with time
r = net population growth rate per individual
