In this activity, students explore how deep sea sediments are collected and analyzed to identify various foraminifera species that are used to interpret global paleotemperature/climate change. Students use a hands-on model using pasta that represents foraminifera, which are collected and analyzed in order to develop a paleotemperature/climate change record. Video clips are incorporated that help students connect their work with the research of scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.
