Week 12: Climate Science

  1. The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did.
    1. In lab, we started discussing climate change. To investigate this, we analyze the rainfall in Iowa. My group focused on the Northeast section of Iowa. We found that the rainfall increased by 329%. We found that in Iowa as a whole, the Northern band is a lot wetter than the Southern band. The driving question we had was how do we know that the Goldfinch is in danger in Iowa? The answer is that the climate is changing and the Goldfinch can't adapt as quickly as the climate is changing.
