Building scenarios and observing model responses

MAIN SUBJECTS

Mathematics / Physics / Biology

DURATION

Preparation: 10min

Activity: 1h

AGE GROUP

15+ year-old students

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students make choices and adjust parameters to build different scenarios. They look at projections to assess the impact of their choices. The scenarios they will build depend on choices made by farmers and the responses are based on biology. Similarly, IPCC scenarios are based on societal choices, and the climate responses are based on science.

TEACHING METHOD

Documentary analysis / Creation and analysis of diagrams
