Snow graphing

🇧🇶

=Introduction=

This can be a simple graphing activity. You could also choose to use the data for linear regression. I have posted photographs of a yard stick taken at regular intervals during the February 14 2007 snowstorm in South Burlington Vermont. The times are given under each photograph, and snow accumulation can be recorded by zooming in (single click) on the photographs.

Suggestion progression of activity (stop at level appropriate for your grade): =Valentine's Day storm=
 * Make data table recording time and snow depth.
 * Convert to metric units perhaps.
 * Line graph of data set.
 * Measure slope to measure rate of snow accumulation (express in inches per hour; or per minute).
 * Run a linear regression to determine if a significant relationship exists between time and snow accumulation.

=Contribute your own data= Upload a series of photos from your favorite storm! Comparative graphs might be interesting.
