Before drawing conclusions or making predictions, you will need to look for patterns and trends in the data. Make any notes that you wish (ex: diagrams, bullet points, sentences, a short paragraph, or even a safe internet search of ‘cited’ information) describing the data and any patterns or trends you see for each of the three bodies of water. These data analysis notes will be used to help organize your thoughts and formulate your conclusion.

- The Chesapeake Bay has seen fluctuations in water levels over the past decade, with some years showing an increase and others showing a decrease in levels.

- There is a clear seasonal pattern in the data, with water levels typically being higher in the spring months and lower in the fall.

- Despite these fluctuations, there does not seem to be a significant overall trend in the data over time.

- The data also indicates that there may be some impact from external factors such as weather events or human activity on water levels in the Chesapeake Bay.
