A Guide to Climate Change for Kids

Positives

• Each climate change question and short answer also has a link to a more in-depth explanation, including a mixture of videos, animated graphics, and colorful visuals.
• Each of the ten questions, answers, and related links can be a stand-alone lesson, so teachers can create a two-week unit using this website.
  

Additional Prerequisites

• Teachers can download this resource as a PDF.
• The link for NASA citizen science projects does not work on the PDF, only on the webpage.
• Teachers and students will need internet access.
• Some of the links lead to the same resource.

Differentiation

• There are ten climate change questions and answers with linked resources, so English teachers can assign small-group research projects and have students give verbal presentations to fulfill the speaking and listening standards.
• Teachers can strategically assign the topics with a video and less text for auditory learners and assign the more text-heavy ones to students with a lot of reading stamina and visual learners.
• Science teachers can have students work with the linked NASA Citizen Science Projects for further study.
• There are links to extension resources such as climate change games, videos, hands-on activities, and green career interviews.
