Climate Change in My Backyard: Grades 5-6, Unit 4

The last unit in a series of four focuses on the role individuals play in climate change. Students examine their ecological footprint then expand their research to consider the impacts on ecological systems and human civilization in a specific region of the world. The unit ends with individuals presenting their findings to the class, reflecting on what they have learned, and then writing to a representative or crafting a PSA about climate change.
