I am including my quiz responses on analysis of data and research. This showcases the ability to receive or collect quantitative and qualitive data and present it.

Crickets are in the order Orthopteran and are alongside grasshoppers and katydids. A lot of crickets tend to be aggressive and like to chase and fight each other.

Roaches live in warmer temperatures and live in moist habitats. Roaches eat almost everything and don’t need to drink. They collect their water from their food. They have a tough exoskeleton and they molt many times. Roaches like to come out at dark.

By collecting data and creating a way to analyze that data, we can start to draw conclusions about what is happening around us!

I am also including my media piece on data visualization to showcase visual creation, data collection, sampling, and more.

Data Visualization

I chose to record data of trees in the area. I took a walk through my neighborhood of about half a mile stretch of roads and recorded the color of all of the trees that still had leaves. I did not count pine trees.

There was a pretty even distribution of colors, with slightly more leaning toward the red side.
