Description
Help students make sense of climate change by investigating data about extreme weather!
How do scientists use data to identify climate trends? What can graphs tell us about extreme weather? Give your students the opportunity to explore these questions with this climate change and extreme weather graphing activity.
This 9-page student handbook combines important Earth science concepts with graphing, data interpretation, and scientific reasoning. Students work with climate and extreme weather data, create graphs, identify patterns, and analyze what the evidence reveals.
It’s a practical way to move beyond simply discussing climate change and help students investigate the science for themselves.
