About This Lesson

Access Free Lesson Plan Here: Rising Temperatures Over Time

In this lesson, students choose temperature data to graph in order to explore the relationship between maximum and minimum New Jersey temperatures over time.

Step 1 - Inquire: Students interact with two data tables showing maximum and minimum average temperatures in New Jersey.

Step 2 - Investigate: Students choose data to graph both max and min temperatures over time and discuss their findings.

Step 3 - Inspire: Students watch a video showing the current effects of temperature in New Jersey and explore the connection between the video’s information and their graph.

Learning Outcomes

  • Students will be able to read a data table and make observations.
  • Students will be able to make a graph of two lines showing the relationship of temperature over time.
  • Students will be able to explain the relationship of temperature over time.
  • Students will be able to explore connections between temperature and climate change in New Jersey.

This lesson is aligned to New Jersey standards.

Standards

Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability.
Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century.
