Eight slides of information related to shifts in the climate make up this presentation. The vocabulary and concepts displayed are geared toward high school meteorology learners. Content is not cohesive from slide to slide, but the...

Students examine the principles that are involved in climate change.  In this environment lesson students view a presentation on climate change and complete a handout.

Students investigate climate change and how the properties of carbon dioxide and methane play a part.  In this climate lesson students use a chemical reaction to trap CO2 and methane.

Students investigate how plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. In this biology lesson plan, students differentiate photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They discuss the important role of plants in the environment.

Students understand the concept of a scientific model and how it relates to climate change.  For this obsesrvation and gathering data lesson students design a trial and error model using PowerPoint. 

Students study the concept of a scientific model and demonstrate climate change models.  In this scientific lesson students design a model using direct and indirect evidence and use it to make hypotheses.

Students research about the function of MPA's. In this marine science lesson, students explore how humans influence changes near these areas. They explore different MPA's in the Great Lakes region.

Young scholars locate Lake Mead, then read a news article about Lake Mead drying up and how that would effect water and power supplies to the region. In this current events lesson, the teacher introduces the article with a map and...

Students examine the continent of Antarctica, then read a news article about the decline in the Antarctic penguin population. In this current events lesson, the teacher introduces the article with a discussion and vocabulary activity,...

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...

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

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...

Students consider the impacts of global warming and brainstorm ways to help decrease their contribution to the problem.  In this climate change lesson plan, students are exposed to facts concerning global warming and think of ways...

Students research climate change. In this environmental lesson, students view a PowerPoint slideshow about climate change and identify the ways that climate change affects life on Earth.

High schoolers explore about and evaluate the potential impacts of climate change on northern hydrological systems. They work in small groups, research the background to climate change in the north with a particular focus on lakes and...

Students explore about the One-Tonne Challenge, and work out how they could reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by one tonne, through individual actions and by influencing other people. Students use a GHG emission table to...

Students define and associate words with the topic of climate change while completing associated worksheets. They read and discuss articles about climate change including the effects of global warming and the greenhouse effect.
