Differentiation & Implementation

Middle and high school science classes can use this video to discuss the effects of climate change on marine environments or to connect to lessons about the carbon cycle, marine food webs, and pH.
Biology classes could use this video with these other resources, Ocean Acidification and Lab 7: Ocean Acidification, to educate further on the environmental impacts of excess carbon dioxide.
Economics classes can use this video to investigate the economic impacts of climate change on communities. The resources How Will Climate Change Impact Agriculture and How Will Climate Change Effect NJ's Transportation, Energy, and Communications Infrastructure look at the impacts of climate change in other New Jersey industries.
Civics classes can use this as a starting point when evaluating, creating, or refining solutions to problems in their area. The resources How Can We Respond to Climate Change and Inside a City Redesigned for Superstorms and Sea Level Rise would be great to use alongside this video, as they educate further on solutions already being implemented in New Jersey.
