In this class activity, students will investigate data on the fossil record at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary. They will apply their understanding of geology, meteorology, and related disciplines in order to determine whether or not the fossil record supports a meteorite strike playing a role in the extinction of the dinosaurs. This document contains student handouts; an instructor guide is provided in the accompanying documents.

In this class activity, students will engage in a case study of the Flores Man skeleton. They will apply their understanding of statistics, anthropology, archaeology, and related scientific disciplines in order to describe the fossils and archaeological material attributed to the new species, Homo floresiensis, and determine what is and is not known about this early hominid skeleton. This document is a student handout with instructions and questions for the case study; an instructor guide is provided in an accompanying document.

In this class activity, students will analyze data on rainfall and dust levels in Africa in order to investigate two competing hypotheses about how climate affects human evolution. They will apply their understanding of orbital forcing factors and the use of proxy variables in order to develop a research plan they could use to study African climate change. This document serves as a student handout; an instructor guide is provided in the accompanying documents.

In this class activity, students will participate in a debate on climate change policy. They will apply their understanding of the scientific evidence for climate change in order to propose specific policies for dealing with the changing climate. This document is a student handout containing supporting figures that can be used for the debate; an instructor guide is provided in an accompanying document.
