Description
Have your students been studying the science of climate change, and now you really want to wrap up the unit in a powerful and meaningful way? A community action project is a fantastic way to do just that. My community action project is a sustained inquiry, project-based learning experience where my students study an issue or problem, research that issue, explore solutions, develop a course of action that they can take personally, and then take action.
This resource sets students up to do just that; take action on the issue of climate change, specifically as it relates to greenhouse gas emissions. Students will learn about sources that influence climate change and DO something to solve or mitigate the problem.
The materials included in this community action project guide students seamlessly through the process. The materials are intended to support independent and productive work on the part of your students. There is very little prep on your part. Simply introduce the experience, print the guiding templates, and facilitate their experiences.
The printable version (PDF) of this problem-based learning lesson plan is not editable at this time. The digital, Google Slides version offers more flexibility to overlay text or add/remove slides.
Note: As I already said, this is a great resource to end a climate change unit. If you are looking for experiential climate change resources, check out others from Experiential Learning Depot. I also have a complete science of climate change unit bundle, which includes this community action project. Consider getting the unit at a discounted price.
