Climate change is a complex topic that can be intimidating to teach. However, understanding climate, and specifically the way that climate is changing, is crucial to making informed decisions and building resilience. This guide helps educators teach middle school and high school aged students about climate and climate change using nine interactive, objective, science-based activities that students will enjoy. All activities are correlated to NGSS and Common Core Math and ELA standards. To further enhance your climate curriculum, the guide also includes suggested adaptations to use fourteen additional activities from the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0 and the Guide 1.0 (activities not included) to teach about climate.
