Trend: In a sample of countries around the world, per person water use varies widely, with some countries using 14 times as much water per person as other countries. Water: Americans use 1,117 gallons per person per day. That’s three times more than Each person in France. Reduce, reuse, recycle – the message we need to give a chance. Each person in France Averages 344 gallons per day Un tollé (outcry) might get more water to stay. Agua: nearly 800 Gallons per person per day in lovely South American Uruguay. An average so high for a country so small. Meet the people of Botswana, Earth’s low-water users at 79 gallons per day. Traditions Save water In a land plagued by drought. Example: POEM
Trend: In general, countries with lower amounts of precipitation use less water than countries with higher amounts of precipitation. The United States is an exception to this trend. Example: infographic
TheU.S. sure uses a lot of water!More than any other country listed. The length of these sentences represents a ratio. Trend: The United States uses 22 times as much water per person daily as Nigeria. example: poem 1 word = 50 gallons Yep! Nigeria United States
Energy Data Jam • Teams of 1-3 students • Creative infographic or poem • Must be accurately scaled to represent a trend(s) in the data (infographic) or must reference specific data (poem) Photo Source: NASA
Data trend What is a data trend? • a general direction, or pattern, of the data; something that is happening in the data Photo Source: www.marcishepard.org
New Mexico Energy Consumption by Source What do you notice about the data?
New Mexico Energy Consumption by end-use sector What do you notice about the data?
A Good Data Jam Project is: • Clear: represents the data accurately and in a way that is understandable to non-scientists. • Include a legend or reference specific data • Creative: Use your imagination! • Concise: Focuses on one trend in the data. Photo Source: www.thefsforum.co.uk
next Steps • Decide if you would like to work alone or with one or two other students to complete your Energy Data Jam project. • Fill out the Planning and Brainstorming Notes section on the handout. • Create your Data Jam project (infographic or poem) and prepare it for the gallery walk.

discussion • How can we summarize all the trends in these energy consumption datasets? • Trend: • Is this a problem?
