This
classroom
activity
allows
students
to
use
water
surface
temperature,
bathymetric
data
and
weather
data
to
look
at
trends
in
the
water
temperature
of
the
Great
Lakes.
The
exercise
asks
students
to
make
predictions,
and
then
use
the
data
to
answer
questions.
The
site
contains
everything
that
is
needed
for
the
exercise,
including
student
handouts,
maps,
