Comment on this resource
NOTE: This is a large file, 7.4mb in size! This article provides an example of the benefits to students of using web-based resources to investigate global climate change. The investigation takes the form of a computer-based activity in which students collect data from the internet on temperature, concentrations of various gases, and oxygen isotopes. The activity begins by posing the question: "Should the U.S. and other countries limit emissions of greenhouse gases to reduce global warming?" The students then construct graphs, look for trends, and report their findings.
