Synopsis

  • In this three-part lab, students learn about the study of ancient climates through a variety of interactive activities, short readings, videos, comprehension questions, and a hands-on lab.
  • Students will discover what single-celled forams can teach us about past climates through isotopic analysis and the final pollen and paleoclimate lab activity will get them digging in the dirt and applying their knowledge.
  • Students will also gain a first-hand understanding of data collection, research, and the scientific method.
