Presentation Transcript
How did you estimate the number of daisies? Did you try to count them all? Or did you use another method? See if this will help…
Using a grid like this helps you to estimate the number of plants in an area. But… If you were asked to count the number of daisies in a field, this would be impractical. Instead we use quadrats.
