The students carry out an experiment to determine that the melting of sea ice does not cause sea level rise, whereas the melting of ice on land does.
In this activity, through documentary analysis students learn how modern agriculture is affected by climate change and how agriculture worldwide is influencing the climate.
The students carry out an experiment to ascertain how the thermal expansion of seawater contributes to sea level rise.
Through documentary analysis, students learn that climate change has led to an increase in extreme events, which has many consequences for human societies.
The students debate the role played by sea ice in the Earth’s climate and carry out an experiment to understand the importance of the cryosphere as a surface with a high albedo.
Through a roleplaying game or multimedia animation activities, students explore different terrestrial food webs.
The students perform an experiment to understand the link between acidity and pH, and also between CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and ocean acidification.
The students carry out two experiments to determine how differences in the density of seawater (which depend on salinity and temperature differences) can drive ocean currents.
Through a documentary analysis and an experiment, the students learn about the role of the ocean’s thermal inertia (compared to the land) in climate regulation.
Lesson D1 - Consequences of Climate Change on Ecosystem Services MAIN SUBJECTS Natural sciences
The students use a carbon footprint calculator to assess their carbon footprint and discuss what they can do to reduce it.
Through a role-playing game, the students explore polar and marine food webs.
This lesson gives students the opportunity to explore emotions intrinsically linked to the subject of climate change, as well as the idea of a totally different world in the future.
Through a role-playing game, students discover the inequalities between countries with respect to wealth and greenhouse gas emissions.
Through documentary research and / or an artwork / ar- tistic performance, students learn about the cultural importance of the ocean and cryosphere for human populations across history.
The students realise that there are many solutions to deal with climate change, either through adaptation or mitigation, and that many people and organisations are already taking action.
The students use a carbon footprint calculator to assess their carbon footprint and discuss what they can do to reduce it.
The students discuss topics that raise the issue of climate justice.
Through a role-playing game, students discover the inequalities between countries with respect to wealth and greenhouse gas emissions.
The students realise that there are many solutions to deal with climate change, either through adaptation or mitigation, and that many people and organisations are already taking action.
