Options include analyzing climate data from multiple regions, calculating the 50-year mean and standard deviation using Google Sheets or Excel, and presenting their findings.
Inquire: Students discuss their experiences with the outdoors, and how those experiences have changed over time.
Investigate: Students use table data to calculate the mean, median, and mode of world temperatures over time.
Inspire: Students learn about strategies to combat climate anxiety, and make a poster of their findings to share.
