Interested in engaging your students with real-time NOAA data? In this module, designed for grades 6-8, students engage with an interactive graphing tool to explore parameters such as nutrients, temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and in some cases, contaminants. Students are guided through the use of these data to understand relationships between parameters, and the effect that water quality has on estuarine organisms. The module offers lessons at five different levels, beginning with basic graph interpretation (Levels 1 & 2) and building towards activities that challenge students to ask questions and develop their own data investigations (Levels 4 & 5)
