| Climate Change
Teaching about climate change can be challenging, so we’ve put together three units that connect with recent scientific knowledge on climate change.
Offered in English and in French, lessons and infographic posters emphasize student-led learning and facilitation. Accompanying handouts and assignment questions, evaluation rubrics, visuals, and graphs make it easy to open up these discussions in your classroom. Finally, the teacher’s guide has an overview of terminology and extra resources to explore with your students. All of these educational resources are available to download from our website. |
|
| To What Degree? Telling Climate Change Stories Through Photos, is a new multi-disciplinary lesson plan for Grade 6 to Grade 9/Elementary Cycle 3 and Secondary Cycles 1 & 2. Students are encouraged to think about climate change adaptation and mitigation through a variety of activities that teachers can choose from ranging from simple to complex. |
