Fourth graders receive data about tree ring records, solar activity, and volcanic eruptions during the Little Ice Age (1350-1850). From this data, they draw conclusions about possible natural causes of climate change

Students investigate the greenhouse effect and why it happens.

Students practice cause and effect writing skills on environmental topics.

Fourth graders create two dioramas out of household materials to compare the influence of various factors that impact climate. Each group discuss how the change in factors influenced the climate, flora, and fauna of their area.

Students label three geological maps with continents provided to analyze the relationships between the movement of tectonic plates and the changes in the climate. In small groups, they discuss their findings and form hypotheses about the...

Young scholars present their research reports on global warming, along with any other associated products (models, diagrams, Web-pages, etc.) to the rest of the class and school.

Students gather information about global warming and climate changes in preparation for future lessons on the Greenhouse Effect.

Fourth graders discuss how plants and animals, including humans, adapt to climate and seasonal changes. They research the Colville people, and create dioramas that represent life during different seasons for Colville people.

Learners investigate global warming through initial discussion of recent findings regarding weather patterns. They act as city planning 'committees' concerned with how the trends in global warming affect the agriculture and industries.

Students research El Nino and its effects all over North America using Web Resources. Working in teams, they present their findings. They look for connections and relationships between animal behavior and climate.

Middle schoolers examine natural climate fluctuations of the Earth and compare climate change in last 100 years to earlier climate changes. From this data students will begin to define current issues related to global warming.

Students explore environmental awareness by participating in a role play activity. In this cultural analysis lesson plan, students discuss the importance of symbolism when referring to a tribe and create their own tribe based on a small...

Eighth graders identify the factors that contribute to global warming. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders evaluate the impact of global warming on the planet. They discuss their views within the group.

Fourth graders explore weather patterns by completing an Internet project. For this water cycle lesson, 4th graders read assigned text including a Magic School Bus book about precipitation and water. Students complete a water science...

Middle schoolers discuss the causes of global warming. In this earth science lesson, students examine how global warming is connected to the arctic and world climate. They write a paragraph about their interconnection.

High schoolers analyze the effect of global warming given a set of data. In this ecology lesson, students evaluate the impact of excess carbon dioxide levels to living things. They watch a video then investigate the major points of the...

Students evaluate the effectiveness of current climate change solutions. In this global warming instructional activity, students look at the current measures implemented and analyze whether they are beneficial to the environment or not....

Students investigate climatological changes that are occurring to the Earth. In this climate change lesson plan, students access an assigned web site to view maps and lessons that show how climate change makes a difference to life on Earth.

Students calculate their carbon footprint. In this environmental technology lesson, students listen to a lecture on climate change. Students brainstorm solutions to reduce environmental impact based on travel options. Students calculate...

In this energy production instructional activity, students describe the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy and identify the different types of energy. This instructional activity has 1 short answer, 1 matching, and 1...

Young scholars use ice cubes to demonstrate how the polar ice caps are melting and how it effects the polar bears. In this polar bear lesson plan, the teacher explains how polar bears live on the north pole and how they are having...

In this science worksheet, students answer ten multiple choice questions about climate change. This worksheet could be used as a pre-assessment tool before beginning a unit on climate change.

In this global warming worksheet, learners review the causes of global warming such as deforestation, fossil fuels, and nitrous oxide. This worksheet has 6 matching and 4 short answer questions.

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students read a chart about the future of climate change and then complete the two worksheets that test their understanding of the text with a quiz and a graphic organizer about the changes that...
