**Additional Data**
In order to determine how much Gracilaria is available for use by Diopatra, and really how much is drifting onto the mudflat, we are manipulating the "_R" plots by photographing and then removing the Gracilaria each site visit. The algae removed is weighed and that information is recorded. The data below is from the month of January.

5th grade activity
Hey 5th graders! You’ve learned how to represent numbers and data in different forms. The above information is in a table. What if we wanted to represent this as a graph? What kind of graph would you create? Try drawing this information in a bar graph.
7th & 8th grade activity
Find the mean mass removed on January 13th. Next, go back and look at the data from August 31, 2015. Find the mean Gracilaria mass removed for August. Compare and contrast the amount of Gracilaria removed in August versus January. What do you notice between these two different seasons (winter versus summer)?
