FAQ
What is the main purpose of Exploring Climate Change?
Exploring Climate Change is a simulation app designed to help users understand the causes and potential consequences of global warming. It allows you to adjust various settings related to energy production and conservation to see their impact on future climate scenarios.
What grade levels is Exploring Climate Change suitable for?
The app is suitable for grade levels 5 and up, aligning with Next Generation Science Standards related to weather, climate, and human impacts on Earth systems.
How does Exploring Climate Change project future climate changes?
The simulation uses changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide from the first 20 years of the 21st century to project temperature changes up to the year 2100. It assumes increased CO2 concentration directly causes global warming.
