Since "Fridays for future" at the latest, climate change has been on everyone's lips and is the subject of lively public and political debate. The media are increasingly talking about temperature records.
What are records anyway, do they really occur more and more frequently or can their occurrence simply be explained by chance, as some people claim?
We will answer this exciting question with scientific methods using real temperature data.

Duration: about one double hour
Prior knowledge: Probabilities and random experiments, path rules.
Contents: Dealing with data, law of large numbers, Laplace probability, path rules, stochastic independence, expected value.
Target group: 10th grade and higher
