What educators are saying
Great way to keep them engaged, but self directed while a sub was there. Learning continued while I was away!
This was a really good independent activity for my kids. It kept them engaged and took some of them a couple of class periods to complete. It was nice having the link for them to do it on Google Forms as well.

This webquest takes students step-by-step through accessing two NASA websites (one current, one archived version). As they read each webpage entry, students answer questions related to the text. Their research and answers guide them to think about 4 Focus Questions:
- How are fossil fuels used by humans?
- How have greenhouse gases been affected by human activity?
- How do we know the climate is changing?
- What are the effects of climate change?
The student sheet is 4 pages long (2 front/back) with 37 questions (including answering the 4 provided focus questions). We find this webquest takes about 2 class periods with 7th and 8th graders. A link to climate change online games is provided for fast-finishers.
Teacher Notes:
- INCLUDES ANSWER KEY.
- Please note: This resource is NOT editable.
- While this activity is intended for a middle school audience, it would also be appropriate for high school students in their study of NGSS HS-ESS3-5.
- A link to the Google Docs version is provided within the downloadable PDF.

NGSSMS-ESS3-5
Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century. Examples of factors include human activities (such as fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and agricultural activity) and natural processes (such as changes in incoming solar radiation or volcanic activity). Examples of evidence can include tables, graphs, and maps of global and regional temperatures, atmospheric levels of gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, and the rates of human activities. Emphasis is on the major role that human activities play in causing the rise in global temperatures.
NGSSMS-ESS3-4
Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems. Examples of evidence include grade-appropriate databases on human populations and the rates of consumption of food and natural resources (such as freshwater, mineral, and energy). Examples of impacts can include changes to the appearance, composition, and structure of Earth’s systems as well as the rates at which they change. The consequences of increases in human populations and consumption of natural resources are described by science, but science does not make the decisions for the actions society takes.
NGSSHS-ESS3-5
Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth's systems. Examples of evidence, for both data and climate model outputs, are for climate changes (such as precipitation and temperature) and their associated impacts (such as on sea level, glacial ice volumes, or atmosphere and ocean composition). Assessment is limited to one example of a climate change and its associated impacts.
