This module focuses on analyzing scientific texts and data to understand the impacts of increasing atmospheric CO2 on plant growth. Through a series of activities, students learn to extract numerical data, conduct proportional math problems, and construct evidence-based arguments. The introduction discusses the role of photosynthesis in plants and how rising CO2 levels can potentially affect crop yields. Students engage in guided annotation of texts, which requires identifying claims, evidence, and reasoning. The module also includes exercises that involve organizing data in tables for better analysis, solving growth-related problems, and synthesizing scientific arguments using collected data. It emphasizes the importance of accurate data extraction and proportional reasoning in scientific studies, culminating in a challenge task that encourages predictive analysis of plant growth rates.
