Lesson 20 Summative Assessment: What model can we make to connect everything we have learned so far to explain how trees can reverse climate change?
While watching television recently, you see a commercial that says you can help to make climate change not as bad as it could be. The commercial tells you that all you need to do is plant trees! There are three claims made in the commercial: 1) trees can take carbon out of
the atmosphere, 2) trees store some of the carbon they take from the atmosphere to make wood, and 3) some carbon from trees goes into
and gets stored underground
Directions: Using ALL the terminology from your Summative Model Planning Sheet, strengthen the explanation provided in the commercial
for why
you should plant trees by providing the evidence for each of the claims provided. Also, create a model of these processes.
