This interactive role-playing simulation is conducted as a simulated emergency climate summit organized by the United Nations that convenes global stakeholders to establish a concrete plan that limits warming to Paris Agreement goals. This game is a fun format for large groups to explore climate change solutions and see what it would really take to address this global challenge.

This is lesson plan designed for primary, middle, high school amd college teachers. This lesson plan is focussed on effects of climate change on humans, plants and animals. This will.help students learn about the effects and action for climate. Students will also learn to use technology effectively in classroom environment. 

SYNOPSIS: In this lesson, students watch videos and learn about photography to implement photography techniques in their stop motion projects.

SCIENTIST NOTES: This lesson focuses on photographic stop motion animation techniques. Climate change can be a part of this lesson. All materials used in the lesson have been verified and are suitable for teaching. In this light, this lesson is credible and recommended for the classroom.

POSITIVES:
-The photography and stop motion video examples are all related to climate change to spark intrigue and start discussions.
-There is deep learning about photography techniques.

ADDITIONAL PREREQUISITES:
-This is lesson 3 of 4 in our 3rd-5th grade Animate for the Animals unit.
-The teacher will need to organize worksheets for students.
-The teacher will need to ensure that there are devices available if the Investigate section is done individually or in small groups.

DIFFERENTIATION:
-Student partners could be chosen by the teacher to ensure good academic and social balance.
-Students could explore the Investigate section in groups instead of having the teacher lead the discussion. The whole class could come back together to discuss their new knowledge after the groups are finished.

This activity introduces students to global climate patterns by having each student collect information about the climate in a particular region of the globe. After collecting information, students share data through posters in class and consider factors that lead to differences in climate in different parts of the world. Finally, students synthesize the information to see how climate varies around the world.

This resource seeks to equalize access to learning materials that address the subject of human impact on the environment.  The design of this resource is structured in a manner that will allow it to be adapted and further destributed.  This particular module examines climate change, specifically human impact on the environment.  Specific topics include: Climate Change, Weather vs. Climate, Causes of Climate Change (including Natural, Human Impact, and the Greenhouse Effect), Global Warming, and Mitigating Solutions to the Climate Crisis

Climate change has been a hot topic lately. Scientists have been studying changes in the Earth’s climate over time. In this seminar you will learn about how and why Earth’s climate is changing. By the end of this seminar, you will be able to think reflectively about ways you can help lessen the changes in Earth’s climate.Standards3.3.4.A5Describe basic weather elements. Identify weather patterns over time.

The goal of this unit is for students to work in a blended learning environment to understand climate change and its impact on the world. The objectives are for students to master a basic understanding of climate change and to work in groups to research focused questions, present their research, and propose a way to combat climate change. Students will present their completed projects to their classmates. This unit is based on a lesson plan from The Learning Network found here: http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/04/22/guest-post-climate-change-questions-for-citizen-scientists/

This is a lesson/handout on climate change for very young elementary school students. 

Bell Telephone Science Hour produced this video in 1958, explaining how the production of CO2 from factories and automobiles is causing the atmosphere to warm, melting the polar ice caps, and causing the sea level to rise.

In a world where climate change has never been experienced, it is time to do something. This poster aims to encourage people to act, by raising awareness of the importance of talking about climate change. This poster highlights the respect for nature by using powerful images and colors.

This course has been designed to help professionals working across multiple disciplines bring a climate change adaptation lens to their current and future projects. 

Short Description:
This is an open online course that has been designed to help professionals working across multiple disciplines bring a climate change adaptation lens to their current and future projects.

Long Description:
This course has been designed to help professionals working across multiple disciplines bring a climate change adaptation lens to their current and future projects. It’s structured in four modules, that cover: what the current climate change situation is, including the latest science and scenarios; why climate change matters to professionals and planners, in terms of risk and impact; what we can do about it, through examples and methods of adaptation, and; how to bring adaptation tools, data and processes into your work, with a practice project.

This course is part of the Adaptation Learning Network led by the Resilience by Design Lab at Royal Roads University. The project is supported by the Climate Action Secretariat of the BC Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Strategy and Natural Resources Canada through its Building Regional Adaptation Capacity and Expertise (BRACE) program. The BRACE program works with Canadian provinces to support training activities that help build skills and expertise on climate adaptation and resilience.

In this short video, learn about actions that humans can take to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts. Use this resource to stimulate thinking and questions about climate change and to provide opportunities for students to design solutions and communicate information.

This video discusses how the populous areas west of the Andes are largely desert and rely on glacial meltwater as an important source of fresh water. Because the Peruvian glaciers high in the Andes are in rapid retreat, scientists are monitoring the steadily shrinking glaciers and the impact of their reduction on local populations.

This 3-activity sequence addresses the question: "To what extent should coastal communities build or rebuild?" The activity uses social science and geoscience data to prepare an evidence-based response to the question, in targeted US coastal communities.

This lesson introduces solar energy and tasks students with solving an algebraic equation to determine the amount of daily sunlight needed to make a solar panel effective.

Step 1 - Inquire: Students work through a practice problem and discuss what they already know about solar energy.

Step 2 - Investigate: Students briefly learn some background information about solar energy and then use algebra to calculate the amount of peak sun hours needed to make a solar panel effective. Students compare their calculated values to real-world data to determine if this amount of sunlight is possible in their area.

Step 3 - Inspire: Students make predictions and discuss if they think their home could be powered by solar panels using the calculations from class as evidence.

In this lesson, students use algebra to calculate the number of wind turbines needed to power a local community.

Step 1 - Inquire: Students watch a short video introducing wind energy and discuss the possibility of wind energy powering their community.

Step 2 - Investigate: Students complete a series of mathematical calculations related to wind energy.

Step 3 - Inspire: Students discuss the benefits of wind energy using their calculations to support their ideas.

The video offers a simple and easy-to-understand overview of climate change. It poses basic questions such as 'What is it?' and 'How will it effect us?' and effectively answers those questions.
