We have been looking at the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on our world and
ways that it contributes to the Greenhouse Effect.  Scientists have claimed that the
Greenhouse Effect has led to changes in our climate.


Explore the effects of these changes to the global environment in the areas of
temperature, glaciers and sea levels. You will analyze data to form conclusions
about patterns from the last 100 years and use these to predict how climate will
change over the next 100 years due to these factors. You will create a
presentation/product that will share your findings by using graphs, charts,
data, interesting facts, maps, and any other information that will support your
claims.

Elements: (*Required)
  • Fun Fact
  • Graph/Chart*
  • Definition*
  • Use data to draw conclusions*

Rubric components:
  • Analyzing/Synthesizing data
  • Global Issues
  • Product creation with graphs/charts

Possible products:
Students pick a region and describe the future of that region, supporting claims
with evidence, graphs, data (Impact on various communities)

  • Future travel brochure
  • Google Site
  • Piktochart
  • Google Slides
  • Poster with flowchart
  • Futurist
(Futurists are scientists and social scientists whose specialty is the attempt to systematically
