Students Journal Comments about the Bayou Data

· "I learned how to use trig in the real life. I always wondered what I would use the Quadratic formula for; now, I know application is the key to understanding."

· " I learned how quantitative data can be manipulated to come to scientific conclusions."

· "We would compare the different correlation coefficients to determine which graph fit the data being tested. From this process. I learned what to do with a bunch data which I did not know anything about."

· " I realized everyone in this class has gifts that helped us this week. Some where better with science, others with math, and others with calculators and computers. This week we worked as a class and learned a lot about science, math, calculator and life skills."

· "This taught us a little bit about patience in the real world because in the real world things are not always going to come out so nicely and evenly as in the math book."

· "I really liked combining biology and trig together to research and learn new information."

· "We, as a class, learned many relations such as: when water temperature increases, so does the amount of dissolved oxygen."

· "I see the bigger picture. Math relates to science in many ways as shown through our analysis of the data."

· "I also learned how to express the relationship using mathematical terms in a sentence."
