**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 this month, August 2015.

5th grade activity
Hey 5th graders! You’ve learned how to represent numbers 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. What plot has the most algae? Which has the least?
7th and 8th grade activity
Find the mean Gracilaria mass removed this month. Next, go back and look at the data from January 13, 2016. Find the mean Gracilaria mass removed on that day. Compare and contrast the amount of Gracilaria removed in August versus January. What do you notice between these two different seasons (summer versus winter)?
