Adding to: Climate Change Science Module – Lesson #5: Evidence of Factors Affecting Climate Change (The Past – Ice Cores)

 

Ice core analysis is an effective tool for understanding climate over time and how it is changing. This lesson and inquiry based activities allow students to examine a simulated record of climate change. Through the study of ice core samples, students gain a greater understanding of the natural systems involved in climate change, the history of the Earth’s climate, and the human influences on climate today.

 

The lesson begins with a 10 min TED videoclip on ice cores. It includes a wet lab activity (Using Ice Cores to Collect Evidence of Past Climates) and a dry lab activity where studemts analyze data patterns from an actual ice core (Analysis of Ice Cores from Antarctica and Greenland).
