Climate Modeling – NASA Goddard has developed an educational version of their climate models that students can use to explore climate variables. See the Educational Global Climate Modeling resource. (DS – using models).

Data Interpretation – put together a portfolio of climate figures (IPCC forecasts, sea level, global temperature, ice record, fire frequency, etc.). Have students work in groups to understand the data being described and then present that data to the class. If there’s time, discuss how some of these graphs can be misinterpreted to support a climate denier’s viewpoint. (DS – using proxies, using models, doing statistical analysis, interpreting graphs; KS – communicating science).
