SEP: Mathematics & Computational Thinking-Suggest the effect of a climate feedback loop such as the impact of glacier melt, water vapor in the atmosphere, or of presence of additional clouds.
-Suggest a correlation with greenhouse gas concentrations and human activities.
-Determine the relationship between the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and global temperature using data.
-Use a graph to compare the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere today to previous natural variations.
-Identify that differences in global temperature occurr when greenhouse gas concentrations change.
-Use a graph to state that greenhouse concentrations are high in present time.
-The relationship between greenhouse gas concentrations and global temperature is not identified.
-State that greenhouse gas concentrations have been stable or is missing.
3
DCI: Weather & Climate-Rank heat trapping capabilities of atmospheric gases and compare to actual global warming potentials.
-Evaluate the impact of specific human activities.
-Deduce which gases in the atmosphere trap infrared heat.
-Attribute the rise of greenhouse gases to human activity.
-Identify some gases in the atmosphere that can trap heat.
-Attribute the rise of greenhouse gases to natural variations.
-Identify non-greenhouse gases as trapping heat.
-Reason for increased concentrations is missing.
