The provided graphs organize the data for students in a simple manner.
The resource provides rich background information for teachers and students to deepen their understanding of global warming and sea level rise.
Additional Prerequisites
The interactive element in the discussion section requires a flash plug-in.
Students should know how to read a line graph and find the average of a dataset.
It may benefit students to understand climate change and the greenhouse effect.
The "Images of Change" link under the Extension section doesn't work.
Differentiation
This lesson would fit well before one on climate solutions and adaptation strategies, primarily adaptation strategies for flooding and other effects of sea level rise.
Discuss the impact sea level rise has on coastal communities and research displacement, migration, and other elements resulting from sea level rise.
Have students write their hypotheses and support them with data found in the activity.
Younger students may need to do this lesson as a whole class, rather than answer questions independently.
