In this environment worksheet, students distinguish between UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C radiation and explain. Then they list various explanations of the source of ozone depletion. Students also describe why an increase in smog ozone does not...

Students read First Nation story, identify values expressed in it and discuss how those values relate to conservation issues faced today. Students then seek out stories relevant to climate change from their own Elders and respected...

Students work in small groups researching the impact of climate change on a particular country, and predict future impacts for this country. They simulate an international summit on climate change. Students understand the impact of the...

Young scholars build and evaluate simple models to understand the greenhouse effect. They explore the role of increased greenhouse gas concentration in global warming, and the implications of global warming theory for engineers,...

Students participate in a demonstration in which they role-play polar bears and habitat components to demonstrate the impacts of climate change on the Arctic Ocean ecosystem.

Students design and create a structure that acts as a greenhouse and measure and record temperatures within the structure over a 24 -hour period, research global warming and answer the given discussion questions.

Students develop counterarguments to John Mizzoni's article on business sustainability. In this economics vs. environment lesson plan, students present examples of greenwashing and support them with rationale. They also discuss...

Students recall details about the formation of the earth and early atmosphere. They name the layers of the atmosphere and compare amounts of atmospheric nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Formulate questions about global warming.

In this environmental science instructional activity, students read and study online resources on global climate change to complete 8 short answer questions on the topic.

Students study climate change and the arguments of scientists that it exists.  In this climate change lesson students complete a class activity and answer questions.  

Students study climate change and come up with possible remedies for it.  In this global warming lesson students complete and activity and watch a video on climate change.

Students discuss energy. In this energy challenges lesson, students read about greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change. Comprehension questions from the reading are provided. 

Students explain how recycling cuts down on greenhouse gases, and explore the consequences of global warming.  In this global warming lesson students divide into teams and create a useful product made out of recyclable items.

Young scholars examine environmental issues. In this energy instructional activity, students explore the topic of energy conservation and then create marketing (to be implemented in their school) meant to communicate the benefits of...
