In I'm hosting an Earth Week event today, I promoted my hosting a showing of "An Inconvenient Truth" for Earth Week at my college. It turns out that I would have been showing the movie to my students this week anyway, so it was a convenient coincidence. I'll be showing the movie again Wednesday. In the tradition of On Thanksgiving eve, I present "Food, Inc." and Showing my students "End of Suburbia" again tonight, I'm posting the worksheets my students in both Environmental Science and Geology use for the Al Gore movie. Follow over the jump to see them.
Use of Plate Tectonics as an example of changes in scientific thinking.
Use of the climate record as it reflects the history of glaciation and climate change during the Pleistocene and Holocene.
Correlation between carbon dioxide and temperature.
Effects of higher temperature on water supply and sea level.
How the use of energy and mineral resources affects climate change.
Other uses of geological knowledge that were used.
Any information that you may have learned about in another class.
What you liked best and least about the movie.
Write a one-page essay about the movie. Essay may be neatly hand-written or word-processed. Assignment is due no later than the last meeting before the final and is worth 10 points (extra credit).
