Student ActivityAs part of a series of lessons using the climate change portion of the website, students are directed to read the entry titled ‘how has climate changed?’. Students will use the website to answer worksheet questions. These worksheets will contain questions that require students to process and interpret data from the line graphs that display the correlation between global temperatures and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Questions will also relate to global temperature measurement techniques and evidence for climate change.
