I adapted this activity heavily for a non-majors biology course at a community college in Hawaii, to include learning about global climate change through the lenses of the present, past, and future and to include place-based learning and indigenous ways of knowing. The "future" activities are the adaptation of this specific module. Additionally, this is adapted to be done in a synchronous environment due to COVID-19 transitions. My adaptations can be found at https://qubeshub.org/publications/1947/1

I adapted this activity for my second semester Environmental Science Lab (mostly non-majors, non-traditional students). I reduced the data set, converted temps to Fahrenheit, and created a summary Excel spreadsheet that can be used to pool and visualize class results. My adaptations can be found at https://qubeshub.org/qubesresources/publications/1865/1.

I used this resource to construct a self-directed activity in a Conservation Biology course this spring and added a few pieces that required students to create a visual interpretation of the data set and use the Vassar Stats site to analyze the data. My modification is posted here: https://qubeshub.org/qubesresources/publications/546/1

This module worked very well with my upper-level Ecology course. I made some modifications and added some additional assessments. All the information can be found here: https://qubeshub.org/qubesresources/publications/533/1

This is a great resource. I used this module in a small (8 students) upper level earth science class small class. Even though this was an upper level class many students needs a lot of support with the quantitative and excel skills. Prior to the lab we completed a week on climate and a week on climate change, focusing on social and political aspects. I did not make any revisions to the TIEE module. I did end up walking them through one latitude, showing them all the excel tools. They then worked in groups of two to complete the exercise for one latitude. By the end of the lab we had 5 latitudes and as a group we discussed the results.

I used this module in my sustainability minor capstone course. Students really enjoyed the module and I plan to use it again in the future. See my materials here: https://qubeshub.org/collections/post/1960

I coupled a 'stripped down" version of this module with "Investigating the footprint of climate change on phenology and ecological interactions in north-central North America" (Kellen Calinger*, The Ohio State University, 2014)in an introductory biology course for majors at a community college. You can find more information about how I did this at: https://qubeshub.org/collections/post/1489.

I used this module in my General Ecology lab (teaching in Spanish). The use of a large dataset to answer scientific question, was a new experience for all the students. It is important to take in account the time required to put all the students at the same level on the use of spreadsheet software and performing the regression analysis. Here are more comments and resources: https://qubeshub.org/collections/post/1478

This module was great to use in a large introductory Biology class (Environmental Biology) for non-majors because of its large dataset. I broke this module up into multiple assignments and added an assignment before and after the module components. These modifications allowed this set of assignments to be used in a group project setting for an entire term while integrating concepts from the other parts of the class. Students were given some class time to work together on their assignments related to this module. You can view my notes and modifications at https://qubeshub.org/collections/post/1469

I really liked this model to show forecasting of climate change. There is a lot of data here and several directions to go for interpretation (scenario, season, latitude) and I'll be coming back to this module in the future. My first semester potential biology majors struggled during their first experience with Excel but I know next time to provide a handout with directions. The modified version of this module can be found at https://qubeshub.org/collections/post/1463/

This particular module was fantastic to use to highlight predictive climate changes in temperature across different latitudes. I modified the module towards a non-major undergraduate course and have provided that hyperlink here: https://qubeshub.org/collections/post/1460 Fantastic resource that can facilitate conceptual understanding of climate change impacts.
