Climate change isn't just about a warming planet; it will affect humans' health, spread of disease, changes in heat waves and droughts, and changes in storms and wildfires.

Through three activities, classes see where they and their peers stand on this controversial topic, they educate themselves through research, and then they present their findings to the class.
