Pedagogical Use Description | This Data Set can be used to teach students about multiple ecosystem characteristics that influence productivity, using the specific example of the tallgrass prairie. Because the teaching methods are student-active, students also learn how to create and interpret figures from data with multiple, interactive variables by working with raw data. Students exercise critical thinking skills, since accurately interpreting the results requires students to think critically about plant-ecosystem relationships, determine sources of variation, and predict patterns over time. At the completion of the exercise, students discuss their interpretations and submit answers to questions developed while creating the figures. |
