Share This Post: Are you looking for a hands-on activity to teach climate change? In this lab, students will create a model of sea ice and ocean water albedo using aluminum foil and two tubs of water. Students will track the temperature in a covered and un-covered tub on a sunny day. Students will learn […]
You may have noticed the unique rings that appear on tree stumps – and you might even know that you can figure out a tree’s age by counting the rings! But did you know that scientists can use tree growth rings to learn about our past climate and even estimate the date of historic volcanic eruptions?
