Essential Question: Is climate change natural or is it something caused by humans?
****ADD A FOLDER TO YOUR PORTFOLIO TITLED "1.4 CLIMATE CHANGE." AND SAVE ALL WORK IN YOUR FOLDER****
Goal Standard: Students will understand that human activities can deliberately or inadvertently alter ecosystems and their resiliency.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE SIGNED IN ONCE YOU GET ON THE PADLET OR ADD YOUR NAME TO THE POST SO PEOPLE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. IF THERE IS NO NAME, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FOR YOUR THINKING.
Go back to our Weather Terms Discussion Board with your thoughts, definitions, and questions about previous terms or topics. Add, revise, and/or answer any questions from those previous discussion threads now that your understanding has grown! Now that you understand these ideas better, you should have new and different questions we can use to drive our thinking deeper.
THEN go through and add your initial thoughts, define, and generate questions about our new term "Greenhouse Effect. "

1.4 Greenhouse Effect.webmRead with a purpose
Purpose: Understand what the greenhouse effect is, what causes it, and how it could be impacting our world.
Take notes and ask questions that clarify, extend, and/or deepen your thinking on this topic.
Use the Review Questions at the bottom to guide your thinking.
How does this connect to Global Warming?
Take a picture of your notes and save to your Climate Change Folder.

1.4 Gizmo: Greenhouse Effect.webmEach student will make a copy of the assignment and upload the finished worksheet to their Climate Change folder. You may collaborate with a partner, but all submitted work must be in your own words (that means phrased DIFFERENTLY than you partner, not copied). Be sure to read all instructions carefully and ask your teacher questions if you don't understand what to do.

1.4 Understanding the Carbon Cycle.webmUse the videos provided to develop a labeled diagram of how the carbon cycle operates on earth. Then access the correct Flipgrid link to post a 3 minute or less video explaining how the carbon cycle works. Be sure to end the video with a THICK QUESTION that your classmates can respond to. You don't have to know the answer to the question yourself, it just needs to be something that will extend or deepen your classmates' thinking.
Carbon Cycle in the Ocean
Carbon Cycle on Earth
Extra Detail
Your diagram (picture/flow chart) should include:
Label where renewable and nonrenewable resources are involved
As many ways as you can think of that CO2 is given off/used
Where CO2 is added and subtracted from the environment
Where humans are impacting the cycle
Example of a diagram. DO NOT COPY, this is the water cycle.

Assignment: Once you have generated your inferences about the lessons we have learned from coronavirus, use them to come up with a plan to help fix the effects of climate change on our earth. Create an infographic that captures main points of your plans and visuals to support your points. Visuals can be in the form of pictures, charts, graphs, diagrams, etc.
Infographic examples:
Infographic examples:
Video Analysis: Inferring graphic organizer: Take some time before you watch the video to record your schema on the topic discussed by this video in the graphic organizer. Similarly, you will want to record any information that you have in your schema while you watch the video (sometimes you forget you knew something until you hear or see it again).
Then record any evidence from the video that relates to your schema. This could be information that supports, rejects, or changes your schema.
After the video, you will want to use your schema and evidence to generate inferences. Remember, an inference is when you "read in between the lines" and determine the "so what" of the information you received.

Use the resources (PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS INFORMATION PROVIDED TO SUPPORT BOTH NATURAL AND HUMAN DRIVEN) provided below and any other resources you might find to complete the CER graphic organizer provided below. To do this, you will need to make a claim that answers the above question, support that claim with evidence from the sources provided (plus any extra you find), and extend/expand/explain that evidence and its connection to your claim using reasoning.
Resources you must use:
at least 1 of the graphs provided
Pro and Con Article
one of the two videos
anything you can add from the activities above
The top section of this document is for planning and information gathering purposes. It has guiding questions to help you dig deeper. You should use this part to gather your thoughts, evidence, ask questions, and develop reasoning for your CER.
The CER Graphic organizer is at the bottom of the document.
