Mystery Class Questions: What's the Rate of Change?

You now have three weeks of sunrise/sunset data. After calculating and graphing photoperiods, answer these questions:

1. Compare the rate of change in photoperiod at the Mystery Classes. Where is photoperiod changing most quickly? Most slowly? What evidence or data tells you this?

2. What might explain why photoperiod changes at different rates of speed in different locations?
