Your students can collect authentic data on population dynamics, develop their science and engineering practices, and reinforce their quantitative skills for less than five bucks/class. Placing duckweed in 8 oz. deli containers, manipulating light levels with porch screen, and adding a little fertilizer allows students to monitor the impacts of light availabilty and nutrient availablity on population growth. Data are collected weekly, transcribed into today data in Google Sheets, and then visualized in Data Classroom. Particpants will leave with all the instructions needed to pull this off in their own classrooms.
