Description
In this lesson, from Xpeditions, students discuss how the scientific method was used in studies of the Black Sea. Current theory says that during the Ice Age, the Black Sea was an isolated freshwater lake surrounded by farmland that was eventually flooded. Students diagram the steps scientists took to test one of their hypotheses concerning the flooding and then outline two other hypotheses and the steps that were taken to test them. Students conclude by writing a research plan for future studies.
