Section 2 Graphing Ecological Footprint vs HDI and GDP S2.1. Create a scatterplot of all nations’ per capita Ecological Footprint and their HDI. Follow the step-by-step guide in the Instructions and Background document as well as the Demonstration available on Canvas. Did you remember the axis titles and units? In future labs we will ask you to include captions with all graphs and images that describes the data or information it represents. All figures should include a caption to help your reader understand the purpose of the image. In this lab only we include a fill-in-the-blank model to help you understand how to structure a caption. For more guidance, see figures in your textbook and LAB Instructions and Background document for examples of captions. 2 pts. Caption for Scatterplot S2.1. 1 pt.: Fill in the blanks to complete the caption. National Ecological Footprint in global hectares (gha) shows a strong positive relationship with the national human development index (HDI). This indicates that social development, such as medicine and education, has historically occurred alongside a(n) increase in consumption of overall goods and services. Avoid Academic Misconduct.

S2.2. Create a scatterplot that shows the relationship between all nations’ per capita Ecological Footprint and their per capita GDP. Did you remember the axis titles and units? 2 pts. Caption for Scatterplot S2.2. 1 pts: Fill in the blanks to complete the caption. National ecological footprint in global hectares (gha) shows a strong positive relationship with the per capita gross domestic product (GDP). This indicates that wealth as an indicator of economic development leads to a(n) increase in the consumption of overall goods and services. Section 3 Drawing conclusions from data Refer to the scatterplots you made above AND Figure 1 in the LAB Instructions and Background answer each of the following questions. S3.1. In general, what would you predict happens to a nation’s ecological footprint as it becomes wealthier? Refer to the graphs and refer to specific countries as examples to earn credit 3 pts. The ecological footprint worsens as the nation becomes wealthier. The chart shows a common trend of nations’ standing around the 8.0 mark as they get wealthier. S3.2 In general, what would you predict happens to a nation’s ecological footprint as it becomes more socially developed (i.e., improved education, health care, etc.)? Refer to the graphs and refer to specific countries as examples to earn credit 3 pts. A nation’s footprint might lessen as their human development index increases. For example, Switzerland’s HDI is .96, while their footprint is 4.3. However, the USA has a .93 HDI and sits 2 Avoid Academic Misconduct.
