“Future Temperature Projections” is a unit plan designed for grades 9-12 classrooms with access to computers and NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies RStudio software. This unit takes approximately one month to complete. The goal of this unit is for students to learn global future temperature projections based on output from a NASA global climate change model. As the future state of Earth's climate and greenhouse gas emissions remains uncertain, students will learn how temperature on Earth is expected to change based on different scenarios regarding greenhouse gas emissions.
