Synopsis
- This video presents a read aloud of a graphic novel, which tells the history of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
- The graphic novel reviews how the IPCC formed, how it works, and what kind of topics it assesses.
- It also describes concepts such as the scientific method and the peer-review process and examines why taking action against climate change is important.
Teaching Materials
Positives
- This graphic novel read-aloud helps students answer the question: "How can we be so sure about what we know about climate change?"
- It provides a detailed summary of the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in a student-friendly format.
- The video uses several voice actors, making it easy to recognize which character is speaking.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should be familiar with climate change and its impacts.
Differentiation
- Some students may need more scaffolded support when interacting with this video. This video can be used as an audiobook for students to use as they follow along using this pdf of the graphic novel.
- Science teachers could pair this graphic novel with the 2018 IPCC report and analyze the data with their students.
- Other resources on this topic include this IPCC video that summarizes the findings of the 2018 report and this activity on creating climate policies.
This video demonstrates the contributions of the IPCC in providing up-to-date climate science reports. It also elaborates on the latest knowledge, findings, and ways that the IPCC produces climate information for governments to avoid global climate crises and potential climate risks. This is recommended for teaching.
