Description
Grades 9-12. Students study the influence of climate patterns on the distribution of species by exposing protist cultures to different temperatures over a period of 3 days. Each day, students make observations and sample the population to calculate the distribution of the different protist species. Using their observations of the protist populations, students then consider real-life scenarios. Kit accommodates a class of up to 30 students working in groups of 3.
Conduct an investigation to gather evidence and make a claim regarding taxonomic diversity of protists at different temperatures.
PE: HS-LS2-2 Related PE: HS-LS4-6 Time Requirement: 3 45-minute Class Periods

Grades 9-12.
- Learn about factors that influence climate patterns
- Observe the effect of temperature on protist distribution
- Describe how climate patterns influence the distribution of organisms
