What Can We Learn from Sediments?

Overview

In this activity students learn about varves, annual sediment layers found in lakes. Students will analyze authentic varve data from New England in order to correlate data from three different geographic locations .

Objective

Students will analyze authentic varve sediment data and create a graph of varve thickness. Students will use their results to make inferences about
