Population Research and Graph Some of the most basic skills in researching an animal’s population, there is the need to apply mathematic graphing skills. In the population research activity, students had to apply their knowledge about graphing and other visual representations of the numerical data to the moose and wolf populations of Isle Royale. Throughout they were asking how and why they were to use their math skills. I pointed out that in the scientific community researcher have to represent their data as part of their formal research write ups and one way of representing the data is through graphing. Graphing is a way to summarize collected data and information. Just as you summarize for English in a sentence or paragraph, you can summarize in science and math with graphs. History of Food Chains As a history major, I am always looking for interesting discoveries or practices that occurred in science or any other subject and I like to bring them into class when applicable to the material being covered. The history of food chains article was a part of the initial class discussion on food chains and how they are established or defined. The students found it amazing that science has been documented for so long outside of Rome or Greece. They initially thought that science is a new subject and has on become applicable in the last five hundred years. The article and others like it have helped the students understand how to define their observations and begin forming hypotheses based on them.
