Gulf Stream Heat Budget and Europe's Mild Climate: A Problem-based Learning Activity
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

In this role-playing activity, learners are presented with a scenario in which they will determine whether the Gulf Stream is responsible for keeping Europe warm. They must also address the potential future of the Gulf Stream if polar ice were to continue melting. The students work in small groups to identify the issue, discuss the problem, and develop a problem statement. They are then asked what they need to know to solve the problem.
