Think critically about the explanations on your Pollens Lab Explanation Sheet. Consider the following as you interpret your data.

• What are some reasons that one area might have more pollen than another?

• Does the general amount of pollen you collected on your walk support your research? Why or why not?

• Why would pollen be common in your community at this time of year?

• What affect do you think plant variety and climate has on the number and kinds of pollens that you found in your research?
