Activity Descriptions</H1

Anthropogenic Sources Lab Two activities are included here.  The first is a KWL activity that is used to introduce the topic and also to assess what students have learned.  The second is a lab that has students investigate automobiles as a source of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. K-W-L activity Lab "Anthropogenic Sources of Greenhouse Gases"

Magnitude of Global Climate Change This activity has students graph climate data and carbon dioxide levels for the past 250 years, analyze the data, and predict future trends.  Long Term Patterns and Predictions of Climate Change

Impacts of Global Climate Change As students have seen in the past two activities, humans are contributing to a rise in CO2 concentrations which seems to be contributing to a rise in temperature.  The two activities included here let students investigate what changes might be brought about by this increase.  How do increased CO2 levels affect plant growth? How will global warming affect my state?
