Synopsis
  • This interactive tool displays changes in global temperature from 1850 to 2022 and changes in the ocean's surface temperature during that same time period.
  • Students learn that global temperatures have increased dramatically during this timeframe, and the same increase is evident in ocean surface temperatures.
Teaching Tips

Positives

  • The tool is a visual representation that examines data from specific continents, regions, and sub-regions.
  • It is easy to use and visually striking.

Additional Prerequisites

  • The circular widget on each graph can be used to download and/or share the graph.
  • Right above the interactive tool, there is a clickable "FAQ" section.

Differentiation

  • This interactive tool can be used to create free-response questions about why global temperatures have increased so much since 1850.
  • This interactive tool can supplement a classroom activity where students investigate reforms and technologies that can slow down global warming.
  • It can be used to enhance a lesson on greenhouse gas emissions, where they come from, and how they impact the planet.
  • Teachers can use the tool to support a lesson on the Industrial Revolution and its long-lasting impacts.
