Visualizing Data Media Piece

Introduced in the Data Visualizations section of this guide:

For this media assignment, you are producing a data visualization.  This could be your quadrat data, data you already have collected in the past, or new data you collect for this assignment.  The data does not need to be related to animals, but does need to be related to some type of natural phenomenon.  For example, you could use weather data, the number of hours a pet sleeps, calories in a daily diet, the size of populations in different areas, etc.
Your data visualization needs to:
  • be in a figure format that you feel accurately represents the data.  This could be a line chart, bar chart, scatterplot, pie chart, histogram, cartogram (map), or something less conventional.
  • clearly present the data with a title, labels, and/or key as needed.
  • have an engaging design that captures attention.  This could be color, patterns, texture, 3D modeling, a witty shape, or whatever you create.
