Marie Nabbout-Cheiban — Southern Connecticut State University
Abstract
The article describes an investigation activity based on the spread of the toxic algae in Lake Erie. Students collect data showing the algae spread over few days, find best fit curve(s) and make predictions for later days. Later on, they compare their predictions with actual data and adjust their models.
