Students consider how trees and forests are part of a solution to climate change by calculating the amount of carbon stored in a nearby tree and evaluating climate solutions that involve trees.
Resource Type: Activities
Students will use soda to explore how carbon dioxide is able to dissolve into liquid. They will learn about Henry's law, which describes how the solubility of gas into liquids is dependent on temperature, and develop hypotheses about how the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is affected by rising atmospheric and oceanic temperatures.
