3. Other types of Data Datasets Simulations Models (many types of models)

4. Modern Atmospheric CO 2 Record (dataset) Students compare carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) data from Mauna Loa Observatory, Barrow (Alaska), and the South Pole over the past 40 years to help them better understand what controls atmospheric (CO 2 ). This activity makes extensive use of Excel. Better understand what processes control atmospheric CO 2 concentrations on an annual basis at different latitudes. Better understand what processes might explain the long-term trend in atmospheric CO 2 concentration. Use and discuss data in tabular and graphical formats. http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/teachingwdata/examples/ModernCO2.html Robert MacKay, Clark College

5. Direct Measurement Videos (simulation) Direct Measurement Videos are short, high-quality videos of real events that allow students to easily explore physical phenomena. Many of the videos are paired with classroom-ready activities that integrate videos into the introductory mechanics curriculum. http://serc.carleton.edu/dmvideos/videos.html Peter Bohacek Matthew Vonk

6. Comparing Carbon Calculators (model) Carbon calculators, no matter how well intended as tools to help measure energy footprints, tend to be black boxes and can produce wildly different results, depending on the calculations used to weigh various energy factors. By comparing different calculators, learners can analyze which ones are the most accurate and relevant, and which are the most transparent. http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/teachingwdata/examples/54856.html M.
