Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 3hrs 30mins
What is the dependent variable (what is being measured)?
Days since reaching 100+ cases
Number of confirmed Covid-19 cases
Different US states
Flattening the curve
Which answer provides the best claim that can be made from the graph?
The number of Covid-19 cases per state is increasing
California had 200,000 cases at day 110 and 647,274 cases by day 165.
New York and New Jersey have both flattened their curves in regards to new Covid-19 cases
States that implemented strict mask and shelter-at-home policies have controlled their new cases better
What is the independent variable?
Days since reaching 100+ cases
Number of confirmed Covid-19 cases
Different US states
Flattening the curve
Which states are not controlling their number of new cases well?
New York and New Jersey
Arizona, Illinois, and New Jersey
Georgia, Florida, and California
California, Texas, and Florida
Which prediction makes the most sense based on the graph?
New cases on Texas will start to decrease and then level off.
New Jersey will most like experience a rise in new cases.
The number of new cases in California will most likely continue to rise.
New York is doing a good job controlling their number of new cases.
What is the graph showing?
Number of endangered organisms in 2016
Number of endangered and threatened marine species in the US in 2016
Endangered and threatened marine species
Number of species
What type of graph is this?
A line graph
a scatter plot
a bar graph
a pie chart
Which answer provides reasoning to explain the claim "Fish are the most endangered or threatened in the marine species."
Fish may be affected more by water pollution than other marine species.
74 species of fish are endangered or threatened which is more than mammal, sea turtle, invertebrates, and plant species combined which is 66 species.
Marine mammals can leave the water therefore they survive better.
Marine fish reproduce faster than other species types and can increase their numbers quickly.
What would be a good claim to answer the question "Which countries are the least likely to believe that humans are responsible for climate change?"
The US, Saudi Arabia, and Australia have the most people denying that climate change is happening
In the US, 9% of people do not believe in human caused climate change and in Norway it is 8%.
Climate change deniers are the more likely to live in the US than in other countries
The US and Norway have the largest percentages of people that do not believe in human caused climate change.
What is the best evidence for the claim "Carbon dioxide is increasing in our atmosphere."
The line in the graph increased between 1958 to 2019
Carbon dioxide was 410.49 ppm in 2019 which is higher than it was in 1958
It increased form 314.62 ppm to 410.49 in 61 years
Carbon dioxide was 314.62 ppm in 1958 and increased to 410.49 in 2019.
