of your graph lines. This will help us to

answer the guiding question we've been working wit

pulation of "Australia" impacted ini global climate

change and what might happen in the future if the current trends contin
he following will help collect data from each of
your graphs and allow you to predict the future of each of your lines. Remember that you will be writing a short essay
and the data that you gather here is incredibly valuable :)
ONE. Gather "x" and "y" coordinates from six peaks and valleys across your graph (make sure they are
spread out over time) and input them into the chart.
TWO. Follow the instructions on the board to use a graphing calculator to find the "a" and "b" values.
THREE. Record "a" and "b" values.
FOUR: Input "2016" for "x" and record the answer
FIVE: Repeat for all graphs
SIX. DO NOT LOSE THIS SHEET. Otherwise you will be sad when it comes time to write your paper.
Seriously, bro. Don't lose it.

You will use this space to journal in the future...don't draw, write, etc. in this area right now. Yes, I'm
serious. No, it's not funny if you do it right now anyway. Really.
