Collect data from at least 10 locations on the glob and make a table to organize your data.
0pts) data has no organization, does not include 10 locations and does not include data from both data sets
1pt) One of these: Data from 1 set OR 10 location OR data is organized
2pts) two of these Data from 1 set OR 10 location OR data is organized
3pts) Data is from ten locations from both data sets and well organized.
Hint! You should be able to past a table from excel or numbers, if not, take a screen shot of your table and upload it as a picture
