Temperature of Earth (degrees C) – \u2714\u2714-19.1
Temperature of Earth (degrees C) – \u2714\u27142.7
While we can calculate the temperature of an asphalt-covered Earth, is this realistic? – \u2714\u2714No,
it’s not feasible to pave the oceans because asphalt is heavy and would sink.
Temperature of Earth (degrees C) – \u2714\u2714-99.7
While we can calculate the temperature of a snow-covered Earth, do you think this is realistic?
You will be scored on completion, not accuracy. – \u2714\u2714Yes, shifts in Earth’s climate could bring
about a snow-covered Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make a hypothesis – what will the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo and the aerosol it releases do to
Earth’s albedo and temperature? – \u2714\u2714Make a hypothesis
The aerosol increased albedo, increasing Earth’s temperature
Temperature of Earth after eruption (degrees C) – \u2714\u2714-19.8
Degrees colder (C) – \u2714\u27141.6
Was your hypothesis supported by the data? – \u2714\u2714No it was not supported
What trends did you notice about snow and ice in Then and Now? – \u2714\u2714Levels of snow and ice
are generally decreasing
What is the most likely direct cause of the snow and ice loss you observed in Then and Now? –
\u2714\u2714Increasing temperature
What will happen to Earth’s albedo from the loss of snow and ice? – \u2714\u2714Earth’s albedo will
decrease
If all else is constant, what should the change in Earth’s albedo mean for the global average
temperature? – \u2714\u2714The global average temperature will increase
You’ve now investigated several scenarios regarding Earth’s albedo. Is it likely, then, that a
change in Earth’s albedo is causing the temperature increase? – \u2714\u2714No. Earth’s albedo is
decreasing because snow and ice are melting, but it is the temperature increase causing the melt,
not the other way around.

BioBeyond Unit 7: Designer Planet
Based on the information in the images to the right, which of the following areas will be
impacted if we reach 2 degrees Celsius of warming? Select all that apply. – \u2714\u2714Food
Coasts
Water
Ecosystems
Health
Which of the temperatures below do you think is a good target for maximum warming in the
next 100 years? For reference, we were at about +0.6oC from the 1951-1980 average in 2014.
Next, you’ll test scenarios to reach the target you choose. You’ll be scored for completing this
screen, not any particular response. – \u2714\u2714+2 degrees C from the baseline
What is the level of warming by 2150? – \u2714\u27148
What is the temperature rise by 2150 with your likely scenario? – \u2714\u27148
Let’s see just how good we are as a society – if we put in maximum effort on every single
possible technology as soon as possible, where would our temperature rise be by 2150? – \u2714\u27142
Is your initial target possible with the technologies you tested? – \u2714\u2714No
What are some of the environmental impacts of your targeted warming level? Use the data at
right for reference. – \u2714\u2714Your response should be more than 100 characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BioBeyond Unit 4 End of an Era: Hell
Creek USA
What is the old term for the boundary between the two formations? – \u2714\u2714K-T Boundary
What is the new term for the boundary between the two formations? – \u2714\u2714K-Pg Boundary
Which of these characteristics can be used to distinguish bone fossils from rocks? Select all that
apply: – \u2714\u2714Spongy layers surrounded by dense layers
Contains pores
Sticks to the tongue
Now it’s time to test the whole set of samples. Select the images that contain fossils and click
Test to see if you are correct. You will be graded on completion, not accuracy. Hint: Some
fossils are not flagged with yellow tape. – \u2714\u2714(Left to right)

For each of the fossils you have collected, classify it as either a body fossil (direct evidence) or a
trace fossil (indirect evidence).
Fossil #1: Fish Bone – \u2714\u2714Body Fossil
