The following table lists the monthly high and low temperatures and rainfall at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Laronde Park in Montreal, Quebec, has considerably fewer visitors than Walt Disney World, although it does make the top-50 list for park attendance in North America. The following table, by contrast, lists the monthly high and low temperatures and rainfall in Montreal. Ask them to describe the graph and explain what they see. Students might compare the range of average highs for a year with the range of temperatures for a given day.
Students can determine the median and the range of the rainfall for the year.
However, the average rainfall is as high in Montreal in November and December as it is in the middle of the summer. Different locations will demonstrate a variety of curves indicating temperature changes, depending on the latitude of the park.
