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.
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.
