3.A Develop and use a timeline of a large data set to identify patterns in variations in body structures found in different penguins across different points in time.
What to do
If students simply arrange the strips in order by time and not by body structure patterns as well, emphasize that organizing by time is a good first step. Then encourage students to next look for body structure patterns both among the penguins in a given time period and in penguins across time.
