I am grateful to Ann Dixon, the wonderful webmaster of Serendip, who located the new URL for this activity. I have updated the resources document and include a new description here.

The Winners and Losers of Climate Change

Lesson: homework + ~35 minutes of class time; for high school. Students are assigned two articles to read and then answer questions about these articles. In the first article, students learn how climate change produces not only hotter temperatures, but also extreme weather events. In the second article students learn about phenotypic plasticity and look at several examples of genetic changes that have already occurred in species due to climate change. In class, students predict the vulnerability to climate change for eight species, based on information in a set of species cards.

Thanks for alerting us to this problem,
