This
activity
prepares
the
student
to
launch
an
investigation
of
the
relationship
between
precipitation
and
Streamflow
for
a
local
watershed.
It
can
enrich
a
study
of
the
water
cycle.
Following
the
step-by-step
instruction
in
a
case
study
you
will
locate,
download,
format,
and
finally
graph
one
year
of
Web-based
data
for
these
two
variables.
The
graph
highlights
the
