Modeling Climate Change (student handout continued)
Analysis:
1. Was this a well designed investigation? (i.e. Were all variables accounted for?)
2. How did your modeled results compare with what actually happened when the bucket was
placed in full sun?
3. Do you feel this is an accurate representation of the way scientists use models to study climate?
What factors were missing from your model?
