Data sets are flexible Data and assignments can be tailored to reach a broad range of student groups K-12 Graduate courses • Can be used in one class/lab session or throughout an entire course

Data sets are cost-effective Majority of online sources are now free Simple, low-cost field and lab work Data sets are concept-effective Allow for compare/contrast work at a range of spatial & temporal scales Single or multi-concept patterns

Data sets are engaging Data sets are real Allow students the opportunity to practice science and promote active learning Data sets are real Require students to grapple with issues of complexity, uncertainty, and outliers

Ocean Circulation Profiles Classic textbook Pacific high latitude Atlantic low latitude http://www.epic.noaa.gov/epic/ewb/

Data sets are diverse in topic , scope, and format Online datasets Teach particular concepts and/or skills Recreate research, test hypotheses Hands-on data Field work and/or lab work in your course A genuine research experiment Published literature Journal articles, government documents, NGO reports

A great place to start http://serc.carleton.edu/usingdata/

Data sets are not stand alone resources Design how you’ll use data Identify clear learning outcomes Content and/or concepts Skills What steps in the process are most important? (collection and reduction, analysis, reporting) How will you address uncertainty, outliers, etc.?

Data sets are not foolproof Logistics Work through all steps of the process ahead of time Envision and create “Plan B” • Evaluation Did the use of data help student learning? How will you know?

Case study: Freshman seminar First-year seminar: Water and the Earth H20 & N budgets: increasing spatial scale; increasing complexity Hands-on and online data sources used

What is a watershed? Local watershed (10-1 km2)

What is a watershed?

What happens to water and N budgets when a forest is clear cut What happens to water and N budgets when a forest is clear cut? NE watershed (10 km2)

What happens to water and N budgets when a forest is clear cut?

What is causing the “Dead Zone” in the Gulf of Mexico What is causing the “Dead Zone” in the Gulf of Mexico? Mississippi River watershed (106 km2)

What is causing the “Dead Zone” in the Gulf of Mexico?
