I notice in the graph that a lot of animals were killed in week one. I think it's because people wanted to look for roadkill and then people didn't try as hard later. I don't know why a lot of animals weren't killed in week two. I think that the animals wanted to stay out of the rain because it was raining a lot.

I noticed that the animal that died the most was the gray squirrel because it has a large population in Rye and New Castle. I also noticed the mink had the smallest amount of deaths because of its tiny population in Rye and New Castle.

This graph shows all the animals that died due road kill in several weeks. Its very surprising, and you would never guess that this much people kill these many animals just to careless driving. So watchout for animals aswell as just other cars on the road, because it's their habitat aswell.

Over the last 8 weeks my class has tracked the roadkill that we have seen on the roads around Rye and Newcastle. The graph above shows the total amount of roadkill and each type of animal. The animal that we have seen the most was the poor little gray squirrel. We found 21 gray squirrels plastered to the road.

In this graph you can see the amount of road kill that was found in the rye and newcastle area over the course of 7 weeks. week one and seven have the most roadkill and everywhere inbetween varies. I thought that is was suprising how many animals were killed per week by cars in these two small towns.

Our class recorded the amounts of Roadkill for March 9 to May 10 2009. The Graph above shows the number of Roadkills of an animals during the recording of our data. The most roadkil was squirrels at 21. Recording and keeping track of Roadkill can help us in the future to find out what causes more or less and find out things about the eycosytem around us.

The graph above shows the amounts of roakill per animal by week. As you can see the squirrel has the most by far. I think this is because it is a very common animal that is always up and about. I think this graph could also give a good prediction of what roadkill numbers might be like in the years to come.

With the graph i noticed that there is not really a steady death rate. But, i think that it is the weather because the weather was very different all of those weeks.

Our school is learning about the roadkill in Rye and Newcastle! For the last 8 weeks we have been recording the roadkill that we found. As you can see on the graph below the Gray Squirrels have been hit alot more than any of the other animals. Deers, raccoons, red squirrels, minks and mice have only been found once as roadkill. I think that Gray Squirrels have been hit the most because they can live very close to the road and if their is a tree dropping nuts or berries in the road the squirrels will want to get them.

This is a graph of the amount of roadkill found in the Rye and New Castle area. We found that the gray Squirrel was the highest amount of road kill found. There were many animals that were only found once like the mink and the deer. I found that it was very unusual that 3 frogs were found in the last week and no other week when we were counting the roadkill.

When is there more road kill rain or shine? This is the question that I have been studying to find the answer to. When it is raining out and you are driving it can be hard to see at times so if you are going at a fast rate and an animal is in the road or crossing the road you might not stop in time or you just don’t see it. When it is sunny out and a good day lots of people go fast in a hurry so if an animal is crossing or in the road you might not stop in time.So I studied the days that it has rained over the months of March, April, May for Rye New Hampshire the years of 2008 and 2009. The amount of animals that died from March to May in 2008 was 25. 19 animals died on sunny days and 6 on Rainey. In 2009 there were also 25 animals that died in the months of March to May. It seems like there would be more road kill on rainy days and not the sunny ones. People are not following the speed limits and carelessly drive and that is affecting our animal’s population if people start to do the right thing then we could decrease the number of road kill. I thought that there would be more road kill on a rainy day because it is hard to see and animals sometimes run across the roads to look for shelter. My thought for next year’s amount of road kill would be that the number might increase because people don’t think about the animals as much as themselves if everyone starts to do the speed limit and follow the rules of the road the number should decrease. Some road kill is not controllable but a lot of it is so be safe and slow down.

This blog displays the amount of road kill in rye new hampshire in a seven week spand. There are many different animals in the graph the squirrel was the animal that was killed the most it had a number of twenty three, this graph is very good to keep track of the numbers of animals killed a year or even a month.

In my seventh grade science class has been studying roadkill in our towns, Rye and New Castle. We have been studying this for 7 weeks each year for more than fifteen years. All of our data goes one data base but other people can axis it. The animal that was hit the most this year was the gray squirrel, and people hit 21 of them. We counted many animals that only got hit once.

From this graph you can see that the gray squirrel had the most roadkill and the deer, mink, mouse, raccoon and red squirrel had the least amount of roadkill. The largest number of roadkill for a certain animal was 21 gray squirrels and the least amount was 1 of each for the deer, mink, mouse, raccoon and red squirrel. It is interesting to graph out the information from our charts and see the large differences between the different amounts of roadkill for each animal in 2009 in the towns of Rye and New Castle, New Hampshire.

Here is a graph about the amount of roadkill killed within a time span of 7 weeks. There is a defiant more amount of roadkill in the first week then all the others. For weeks 2, 3, 4, and 5 the numbers are fairly low but it would be best if there were none in the first place. During the 7th week numbers are rising again. I think this is to the weather being warmer and drier. It is just a graph showing you the roadkill amounts and if you want this happening to your own animals.

This graph shows that the most Roadkill was found in the first week of our research which was March 9-15. This could have happened because this is one of the first weeks of spring when all the animals are starting to emerge from there deep winter hiding places and are coming back to meet spring.

In this graph, I noticed that the roadkill was extremely high in the first week, but there wasn’t much in weeks 2-5, and in week 6, it got really low. However, in week 7 the line started rising. I think these changes might have something to do with weather and the temperature.

I noticed that the large amount of animal that was killed in Rye, NH and New Castle, NH is the grey squirrel. They are just coming out of hibernation so maybe that has something to do with it. Birds and the chipmunks were the same but they were the second largest animal being killed. Then the rest of the animals are in a low amount which means they haven’t been being killed that much.

For the past eight weeks my science class has been tracking the amount of Roadkill found in Rye and New Castle in 2009. Here is a graph that represents the information we found. What I found out form this graph was that on week one there was about 13 Roadkill found, then for the next 4 weeks it stayed pretty consistent, with then week 6 plummeting down and week seven soaring up. The abrupt changes I think may be from weather changes, a sudden shortage of food or water, or it was vacation week for some people.

Our 7th grade class has been recording the road kill we have seen on our roads. I thought you would found it interesting what we found so this is a graph of what we saw! I would like to point out that LOTS of squirrels seemed to be killed the most? Why do u think that would be!?

For the last 8 weeks our science class has been recording roadkill found in our town. After the nine weeks, we looked at the data found to see if there was anything we could conclude from the information. In this graph, I showed the amount of roadkill each animal had. You can compare and observe the difference between each animal and try to find information that is true about gthe graph.

We are working on a roadkill project in 7th and ive noticed that gray squirrels and red squirrels... squirrels in general are the ones that get killed the most. Why is this? Are they not intellegent enough to realise the danger? Are they not fast enough? why are they crossing or going on the road? why?WHY?WHY? I do not know...

In this graph, I noticed that there were more roadkill in week 1 than in any other week. I think this is because the animals are done hibernating and are coming out. The second highest week was Week 7. I think this because it is getting warmer and there are insects and flowers for the animals to eat.

This is a graph about how the number or roadkill in Rye and New Castle varies from 13 a month to about 1 or 2. This is interesting data to look into because you can see how many animals are killed each month in your town.

Our class did a project on Roadkill on the roads in New Castle and Rye, NH. We kept track of how much roadkill was on the roads and we wrote down the animals for 7 weeks. This graph shows the amount of different animals that were roadkill during the 7 week period. I noticed that the gray squirrels had by far the highest number of roadkill. I believe they are the highest because Rye and New Castle have more gray squirrels than any other animal.

This year in the Rye/Newcastle area we observed the amount of roadkill that we found on the side of the road. This way we can tell how up or down the animal populations are. If there is more roadkill, than the population of that animal is up, and vice versa .

I did my graph on the days of the week and how many are kill for 2006 and 2008 and how many are killed each weekday. The most amount of animals kill it usually most animals are killed on Sundays because when people are not awake they intend to not pay attention while they were driving. The most that usually on Sunday is about 10-11 animals each Sunday so when you are driving pay attention to the road. I think that when you are driving and you are not paying attention don’t drive like off the road. I think that 2008 had more because people weren’t paying attention.

What I noticed on the graph is that the highest roadkill is gray squirrels. The number of gray squirrels killed was 21. That is probably because they always run out on roads and cars never see them because they are so small. The lowest roadkill with 1 as the number is the mink, red squirrel, mouse, and deer.

Road Kill
We recently gathered data of roadkill. Some of the data is from a long time ago, and some is from this year. Roadkill is an interesting subject to study. It is really neat though to learn about all of the roadkill and graph it out.

This graph shows the types of roadkill in Rye and New Castle. The outcome of this graph is very interesting. It shows that a lot of Gray Squirrels are being killed, the outcome was 21! This graph shows me that we need to keep out for those Gray squirrels because of the so many that were killed. I can now see that we need to keep an eye out for the wild animals out there!

I made a graph on the total number of animals killed in Rye and New Castle, New Hampshire. Something i noticed about my graph was that the number of gray squirrels way higher than any of the other numbers. There were twenty-one gray squirrels killed in eight weeks. Compared to the other animals that is really high. There was only one mink, deer, and red squirrel. I think that this year the number of gray squirrels is over populated.

This is a graph of the roadkill gathered by our town. We are trying to find out what is the animal population of each species today, if there is an increase of a single kind of animal of roadkill, there is a large population of them, if there are some roadkill of some sorts of animals that means there is a normal population. Alot of people from all over New England have been recording this data. I think its good to see what the animal population, and its good to keep track and make sure that no animal goes extinct.

This Graph represents the amount of Road Kill here in Rye/ New Castle NH. We are doing another project of what we think is the biggest reason that road kill is happening. My reason is little animals make more road kill, because people dont see them as well, and people do a little amount to avoid them. Big animals are different. People stop, swerve, or anything to miss the animal.

The Roadkill graph above shows the number of animals killed in Rye/New Castle, New Hampshire through a 7 week period. It seems that the most Roadkill was found in week one and it decreased in week six. From week three to week five was when the Roadkill was pretty steady and stayed the same.

In our class for the past 8 weeks we have been doing a Road kill project. When we see road kill we report it to our teacher. So now we have 8 weeks of data so we graphed it. When I graphed it I was surprised to see that the second biggest death in one week is right before the week that there was 0 kills.
