View Resource Demography from physical cemeteries, "virtual cemeteries," and census data

In this exercise, students will use data concerning lifespan and demography to generate graphs, compare the survivorship curves of two cohort groups with Logrank (Mantel-Cox) tests, and explain the differences in the curves. Students collect, interpret, graph, analyze, and present data on the demography of human survivorship using the data from tombstones in local cemeteries that provide ages...

View Resource Investigating human impact on stream ecology: locally and nationally

This activity is intended for students to lead investigations on stream ecology. Students will exercise critical thinking skills to interpret data sets and maps regarding water quality and usage. They will also learn how to manipulate the data and create presentations of the figures. This activity is included in Volume 8 of Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE).
