Combating Global Warming Mind Map

• This mind map on combating global warming includes information about the best ways to travel, how to conserve energy in the home, and how to be a catalyst for climate action.

Positives

• This colorful mindmap contains text and illustrations.
• Visual learners will appreciate how the branches of the mindmap show the relationship between the climate topics.

Additional Prerequisites

• Teachers may want to remind students that individual actions are important, but that climate change must be addressed at a systemic level.
• The mindmap is available in German, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Italian, Japanese, French, Persian, and Arabic.
• The mindmap contains a few British spellings and terms. There is an American English version of the map available.

Differentiation

• Students could choose climate topics (e.g., ocean acidification, air pollution, extreme weather) and make their own mindmaps.
• Teachers could assign students elements of the mindmap to research and have students make an infographic for their topic. After, the class could make a giant mindmap with the infographics to display on a bulletin board or another prominent place in the school.
