Here are some Frame, Focus and Follow-up suggestions for using this video in a math lesson.

What is Frame, Focus and Follow-up?

Frame: Temperatures change a great deal during the year in most parts of the world. If you had a table of information about your town or city that included the temperature recorded on each day of a particular month and you wanted to examine it for any trends, how might you organize that data so that trends would be easy to see?

Focus: As you watch this segment, notice the two kinds of data the CyberSquad is able to collect about the reservoir. When they have collected this data, think about what they do with it and why?
