Topic 10 – Unit Test – Climate Change Critical Analysis Name: Date:

Objective: Examine and analyze graphs of natural and human factors relating to climate change.

Procedure Part One:

1. Look at each graph and read the CLAIM.2. Decide if the claim is supported by the data in the graph. 3. On your recording sheet, state whether you AGREE or DISAGREE based on the dat. 4. If you agree with the claim, re-write it exactly as it is stated. If you disagree with the

claim, rewrite it to make it true. 5. Fill in your evidence – explain how the graph supports your rewritten claim. 6. Continue through this process for all graphs.

Graph 1: Global Temperature and CO2 Concentrations

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Graph 2: Global Carbon Emissions

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Graph 3: Carbon Emissions in the Industrial Age

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Graph 4: Carbon Emission Producers

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Graph 5: Greenhouse Gas by Sector

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Graph 6: Energy Consumption in the United States

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Graph 7: Fossil Fuel vs Volcanic Emissions

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Graph 8: Annual Greenhouse Gas Index

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Graph 9: Historic CO2 Levels

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Graph 10: Surface Temperature vs Sun’s Output

A. Agree or Disagree

B. If your AGREE with the claim, rewrite it word for word below. If you DISAGREE with the claim, revise it to make it true and write it below.

C. EVIDENCE – Write one to two sentences to explain how the graph supports your claim.

Procedure Part Two:

Once you have analyzed all ten graphs, complete the final CER question.

1. Create your own claim to answer this question.2. Choose three graphs to support your claim; write their graph number and title.3. In the evidence section escribe what the graph shows. 4. In the reasoning section explain how each graph and its data supports your claim.

CLAIM – (make your own claim about the question above)

Graph # (write the graph number and title here)

Evidence – (what does the graph show) Reasoning – (How does it support your claim)

Graph #
