Using a Very, Very Simple Climate Model in the Classroom
Description
Through a simple online model, students learn about the relationship between average global temperature and carbon dioxide emissions while predicting temperature change over the 21st Century.
Time Required: Two 40 minute periods
Language: English
Learning Objectives
-Students understand the impact of atmospheric carbon dioxide on Earth's global average temperature.
-Students understand that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rises whenever emissions are greater than zero.
-Students understand how changes in the rate of carbon dioxide emissions impact the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and global average temperature.
-Students develop and test a scenario using a model.
-Students read and interpret graphs of data.
