Success Criteria: Use the data to plot a climate graph correctly
Task:
- Locate 3 locations within the rainforest ecosystem.
- Find the data for the precipitation and temperature of each location.
- Use the data to plot 3 rainforest climate graphs (think about what this should look like)
- Which data is represented by a line graph and which a bar graph? How do you know this? Find the information below.
