Some resources from federal government sites are currently unavailable; when possible, we’ve provided alternative non-government links to ensure continued data access.
Many solution pages provide smaller actions students can take to spread the word about climate change and solutions.
The reading does an excellent job of defining new content-specific terms within the text.
Prerequisites
Students should have a basic understanding of climate change.
Differentiation & Implementation
Teachers can work with students to create a climate change word wall using the glossary at the beginning of the resource.
Teachers can use the sections in this resource to introduce and discuss a different solution each day or select just a few solutions to cover.
This resource can be approached using a jigsaw method, where each solution is assigned to a group of students who will read and report their learning to the rest of the class.
Many of these solutions may fit well with a social studies unit discussing the Sustainable Development Goals. Teachers can refer to this curriculum guide for more information about teaching with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Students can read the Refrigerant Management section, focusing on the Montreal Protocol as an example of international cooperation to solve a global problem.
This resource references Project Drawdown and their Table of Solutions, which teachers can use to extend this discussion.
