The document provides instructions for an activity where students will analyze graphs from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) related to climate change. Students will receive a graph, analyze it using provided questions about the axes, trends, and inferences that can be made. They will then present their analysis to the class. The document also lists references to source materials in the IPCC reports that contain the graphs.

1. Climate Change Graphs

2. Activity You and your partner will receive a graph from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). You will analyze the graph using questions on the following slide You will present your graph and your answers to the class.

3. Analysis Questions 1) Describe the axes and range of the graph. 2) Describe the general trend of the graph. 3) What might your graph be telling us, and what can you infer from the data?
