2. Dandelion Transection Lab: In your IAN
Objectives: “How and why is abundance of dandelion varied between the three sites”
To give an opportunity to explore two different measures of abundance:
DENSITY: the number of individual plants per quadrat or per unit area
FREQUENCY: the proportion of quadrats each species occurs in

3. DANDELION LAB:
Objectives: “How and why is abundance of dandelion varied between the three sites”
Introduction: purpose, background, hypothesis
Materials and Methods
IAN
Sectioned off pictures of three sites
Pen
Compare each of the sites
Make a table and a sketch of each one in your IAN
Count the number of dandelions in each quadrant of each site
Analysis
Sketch and table
Conclusion: Claim, Evidence, Reasoning

4. Site A
Site B
Site C
Look at each picture. Each picture is a field of dandelions that has been sectioned off into 9 sections. Count the number of dandelions in each section of each picture. Then make a table and a sketch of each site in your IAN. Mark where and how many dandelions are in each quadrant of each site.
Compare and contrast each of the sites
