Develop an understanding of how climate change affects humans' health. The class lists what they know about climate change and its connection to disease and then read sections of an article providing specific details on how climate change affects the growth of diseases. The pupils then create graphic organizers showing the connections between specific climate changes, environmental conditions, environmental hazards, and health effects. To finish, scholars use their graphic organizers to create a large combined graphic of health impacts of climate change.
