Researchers such as paleoclimatologists or dendrochronologists use tree ring analyses as one tool to reconstruct climate information about the past. They will often reference data from other sources such as historical weather records, and ice core or ocean core samples to support their findings. In this lesson students will utilize monthly average precipitation data to strengthen conclusions about periods of drought or abnormal rainfall from analysis of tree rings. This lesson is designed to facilitate student acquisition of the skills and knowledge necessary for accessing and utilizing NASA data sets to further their science and math competencies while engaging them in activities that reflect the processes of scientific inquiry as conducted by individuals in a growing number of careers.
