Earth's Temperature Over Time

Positives

• The information comes from a variety of scientific articles that are cited throughout and at the end of the video.
• Scientific and mathematical terms are explained in parentheses throughout the video. 

Additional Prerequisites

• Students should be comfortable reading and interpreting graphs.
• It may help to pause the video for each graph and description so students have time to read the statements.
  

Differentiation

• This would be a great resource to show in a science class when talking about global warming,
• A possible extension activity could be to investigate how scientists are able to use data from fossils and ice cores to estimate climate conditions in Earth's history.
• Some related resources are Global Climate Change Model: Making Predictions About Future Climate, this video called How NASA Satellites Help Model the Future of Climate, and this interactive Climate Contributions resource.
