| Description | Although scientific research on global climate change has significantly improved human understanding of the Earth system, integration of the topic into school education remains a challenge. Climate science deals with enormous amount of data measured by satellites, meteorological stations etc. Some of the data are freely available on-line (global temperature, CO2 concentration, sea ice extend etc.) and can also be used in the classrooms in order to enhance ICT and climate literacy of the students. In this paper we present sample school activities based on data visualization with Gnuplot, which is a command-line driven graphing utility for Linux, MS Windows and many other platforms. |
