Everglades National Park is a unique ecosystem with hundreds of species of animals that dwell in its waters. The water levels throughout the Everglades can vary throughout the year and it supports the organisms that live there.

In this activity, students will learn how to make a line graph and then they will answer questions about the graph they created.

Students will look at a table that has 24 measurements of water levels in a particular area in the Everglades throughout the year (two measurements per month).

They will use this information to create a line graph, depicting the change in water levels throughout the year.

Finally, they will answer 10 analysis questions about the graph they made, including determining the wet/dry season, finding averages and differences, etc.

This activity gives students an opportunity to learn about the Everglades as they graph the water levels throughout the year.
