Help your students build real understanding of using historical climate through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Sample questions include "Which of the following is a proxy for historical temperature data?", "How do tree rings help in understanding historical climate changes?", and "What role do tree rings play in understanding drought periods?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Earth System Models, Inputs and Outputs, Climate Forcings Natural, Climate Models, The Role of Computer, and Positive and Negative, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard HS-ESS3-5.
