Orienting to the Data
1.
What question are you trying to answer?
The queston is do wilder beast follow the rainfall?
2.
What is your prediction about where the wildebeest will be based on the rainfall data? Use the sentence starter below or write your own.
Since the rainfall of the wilderbeast will be in a more of swamplike area, I predict that the wildebeest will be located in a more of a grass land.
Making Sense
3.
What is your answer to the investigation question?
The answer to the investigation queston was that wilderbeast follow the flow of rainfall because of food, they also follow it because for them to keep moving year round they need food and for them to have their food they need to have rainfall.

What do you still wonder?

Data Analysis
6.
Try creating different graphs that can help you answer the investigation question. As you create and examine graphs, note your observations here:
I notice the more rainfall the more the wildebeest populations increase.
Making Sense
7.
Describe the pattern you see in the graphs that supports or contradicts the following claims:
a.
When there is more annual rainfall in the south, the wildebeest spend more time there.
Yes so their population can grow and so they can get more food
b.
When there is more annual rainfall in the west and north, the wildebeest spend more time there.
Yes because they follow the amount of rainfall.
c.
The wildebeest spend more time in the north than any other region.
Most likely because they struggle to find food which makes their population decrease.
8.
Is there a limit to the number of wildebeest that can live in a particular region? How would you investigate this?
There is a limit to the number of wildebeest that can live in a particular region, and I know this because it depends on how much rainfall is in these particular regions.
