SCIENCE This week in science we will explore the indicators of climate change through research, analysis of data, and lab investigations. After gaining a background in climate change, students will divide into small groups to explore a specific indicator (atmospheric CO2 levels, global temperature, arctic sea ice, ice sheets, and sea level rise) in depth. They will then create a presentation to their findings with their classmates so that they can learn about their researched climate change indicator. Homework:
