World of Change: Global Temperatures
How have temperatures changed around the world? Recent years have been the hottest on record. While some see this as evidence of a dangerous trend that merits drastic action, others find little alarming about such fluctuations.
Driving Question: How have global temperatures changed?
Standards:
AII.F-TF.B.5 Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.
AII.F-IF.B.4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.
AII.F-IF.C.7 Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph; by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.

World of Change: Global Temperatures
Part 1:
Answer the questions below. Write your answers in full sentences.
- What is global warming? What causes global warming?
- What are the effects of global warming on planet Earth?
- By how many degrees did the average global temperature increase over the past 100 years?
- Consider the reasons why an increase in average global temperature raises concerns.
Part 2:
Follow the instructions to fill the excel sheet (response sheet 1).
Use the link below to fill in the long-term monthly average temperature (in 0F) in USA from 1900 to 2019.
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/national/time-series
Long-Term Average Monthly Temperatures ,1900-2019 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
- Use Desmos calculator to sketch the graph showing how you would expect the climate in USA.
- Write a periodic function to describe the graph of temperatures. Show all the steps to find the parameters of the function (x=months)
- Use the equation to predict the temperature in USA in February 2021. How accurate do you expect it would be? Explain.
- Would you say the climate has been consistent over your lifetime, or have you noticed any major changes? Write your answers in full sentences. Support your answer with evidence.
Part 3:
- Use Desmos to sketch the graphs of the recorded temperatures in USA over four time periods as per the tables below. Use the following link to fill in the tables in the student response sheet 1.
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/national/time-series
Use the table below to post the captures of the 4 graphs.

- Most climate scientists believe the planet is getting warmer. However not everyone agrees. Use the link below to watch the video from February 2015 in which U.S. senator James Inhofe uses a snowball as evidence that the Earth’s isn’t heating up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXtG8GrW6EQ.
Then look at the graphs of the recorded temperatures in USA over the four time periods. When you compare the actual temperatures to the long-term averages, do you see evidence that USA is warming? That the planet is warming? Write your answer in full sentences. Make sure that your data is the key evidence.
Part 4 Reflection:
- There’s no such thing as a single climate; when it’s hot in one place, it’s cold somewhere else. Still, scientists combine temperatures from around the world to create an average “global temperature.” The curve below represents Earth’s long-term average monthly temperatures (1900-2020), while the points show the recorded temperatures.
Watch the following video about the consequences of increased global temperatures. Based on the data, would you conclude that the planet’s temperature is changing? If so, would you say it’s changing significantly? Explain. (Note: 1°C = 1.8°F). Write your answer in full sentences.

- As students, what behaviors can you adopt to slow the global warming? Support your answer with evidence. Write your answer in bullet form.
