Let's create continuous conversations about climate change education: Spreading the Sediment of Science!
In this lesson, students learn the impacts of climate change on birds, explore the effectiveness of public art on climate change awareness, and synthesize informational texts into an essay.
Step 1 - Inquire: Students watch a video showing the effects of climate change on bird sizes and discuss their observations and questions.
Step 2 - Investigate: Students explore the art and artists of the Audubon Mural project, read an article, and discuss the effectiveness of art in climate change awareness.
Step 3 - Inspire: Students learn about the personal beliefs of John J. Audubon, reflect on the relevance of these beliefs to the work of the Audubon Society, and respond in a persuasive or argumentative essay.
