PO 17: Investigate the effects of acid rain, smoke, volcanic dust, urban development and
greenhouse gases on climate change over various periods of time.
Objective (Explicit):
Describe forcings on Earths atmosphere, including the effects of volcanic dusts and manmade greenhouse
emissions, on climate change
Evidence of Mastery (Measurable):
Include a copy of the lesson assessment.
Provide exemplar student responses with the level of detail you expect to see.
Assign value to each portion of the response
Students will create a Climate Investigation that answers key questions and defines vocabulary.
Students will sketch two curves comparing volcanic debris levels and temperature.
Students will complete a 3-4 page paper describing natural variability and global climate disruption.
SWBAT complete quizzes as assessments
Sub-objectives, SWBAT (knowledge, skill, purpose):
How is this objective relevant to students, their lives, and/or the real world?
What skills and content are needed to ultimately master this lesson objective?
How will you review past learning and make connections to previous lessons?
SWBAT apply understanding of heat transfer and the carbon cycle to make predictions about climate change
SWBAT define key vocabulary
SWBAT sketch a comparison between temperature and aerosol levels
SWBAT describe the relationship between natural climate variability, human activities and climate change
SWBAT defend a position about climate change
Key vocabulary:

Evaluate/Closure (9 min)
How will all students demonstrate mastery of the lesson objective (though perhaps not mastery of the
elaborate content)?
How will students have an opportunity to summarize the big concepts they learned (separate from the
assessment)?
Teacher Will:
Bring together all of the closing points about natural
variability. We learned that natural processes affect
the atmosphere, as do human activities. Ask around
the room for vocabulary (Anthropogenic Emissions,
Paleoclimatology). Check for understanding, ask
questions from quiz if time permits.
Briefly explain that the paper is due next week.
Students Will:
Sign out of laptops, turn in Climate Investigation,
answer questions about closure. Discuss ideas
about EQ2.
