What educators are saying
Love this bundle! Easy to use and extremely engaging material! Will definitely use again in the future.
I had a week of jury duty and was able to use this as sub plans. I now use it each semester as it does a great job teaching the material without direct instruction. Great practice with graphing and analyzing skills.

Description
SAVE MORE THAN 30% on this bundle PACKED with high-quality, rigorous climate change activities that are NO PREP and EASY TO IMPLEMENT. This activity bundle has a little bit of everything!
Resources Included:
- Two Truths and a Lie Critical Thinking Activity
- Climate Read and Respond CER Activity
- Analyze Climate Graphs Worksheet
- Graphing Climate Data Activity
- Mapping Carbon Emissions Activity
Individual Descriptions:
Climate Read and Respond CER Activity: Stimulate CRITICAL THINKING with this read and respond CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIVITY. Students read short text passages on various climate change topics, then complete short answer questions, flow charts, claims-evidence-reasoning prompts, and cause-and-effect grids. Included text passages and questions in this resource relate to:
- Greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect
- Carbon dioxide
- Water vapor
- Melting ice
- Deforestation
- Albedo effect (reflection of solar energy)
- Carbon dioxide and the ocean
- Ocean acidification
Two Truths and a Lie Critical Thinking Activity: Get kids THINKING! Promote lively discussions and critical thinking about global warming and related issues using a "Two Truths and a Lie" activity. In this activity, students will:
- READ (in pairs or groups) a "Two Truths and a Lie" card that has 2 true facts about climate change and one lie or misinformation. (15 total cards are provided.)
- DISCUSS which choice they believe is the lie on the card.
- Turn the card over to discover the lie and learn more about the truth.
- ANSWER questions on a 4-page follow-up worksheet that corresponds to the information in the cards.
Climate Change Graphing Worksheet: Critical thinking required! Students analyze and compare 6 graphs related to climate change and complete a Claims-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) grid.
Graphing Climate Data Activity: In this activity, students will:
- READ about how scientists obtain historical climate data from ice cores, the source of modern data, and an explanation of units used for carbon dioxide and temperature.
- ANSWER text-dependent questions to check for understanding.
- GRAPH data on pre-labeled graphs. One graph uses a data set from ice core records and the other uses data dating back to the 1950s. Both sets of data include carbon dioxide and temperature information.
- COMPLETE a Claims-Evidence-Reasoning section and answer analysis questions.
Mapping Carbon Emissions Activity: In this activity, students will:
- READ a 1-page article about greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, what per capita means, and the activity directions.
- CONSTRUCT a World Map by attaching 2 provided pages (it's easy!).
- COLOR CODE countries on the map according to their per capita carbon emissions.
- ANSWER analysis questions focusing on the greenhouse effect, sources of carbon emissions, and how developed countries compared to underdeveloped countries.
Teacher Notes:
- This activity bundle supports NGSS MS-ESS3-5, HS-ESS3-5, and ESS3-4.
- All answer keys are included.
- Please note: these PDF documents are not editable.

NGSSMS-ESS3-5
Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century. Examples of factors include human activities (such as fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and agricultural activity) and natural processes (such as changes in incoming solar radiation or volcanic activity). Examples of evidence can include tables, graphs, and maps of global and regional temperatures, atmospheric levels of gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, and the rates of human activities. Emphasis is on the major role that human activities play in causing the rise in global temperatures.
NGSSMS-ESS3-4
Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems. Examples of evidence include grade-appropriate databases on human populations and the rates of consumption of food and natural resources (such as freshwater, mineral, and energy). Examples of impacts can include changes to the appearance, composition, and structure of Earth’s systems as well as the rates at which they change. The consequences of increases in human populations and consumption of natural resources are described by science, but science does not make the decisions for the actions society takes.
NGSSHS-ESS3-5
Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth's systems. Examples of evidence, for both data and climate model outputs, are for climate changes (such as precipitation and temperature) and their associated impacts (such as on sea level, glacial ice volumes, or atmosphere and ocean composition). Assessment is limited to one example of a climate change and its associated impacts.
NGSSHS-ESS3-4
Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems. Examples of data on the impacts of human activities could include the quantities and types of pollutants released, changes to biomass and species diversity, or areal changes in land surface use (such as for urban development, agriculture and livestock, or surface mining). Examples for limiting future impacts could range from local efforts (such as reducing, reusing, and recycling resources) to large-scale geoengineering design solutions (such as altering global temperatures by making large changes to the atmosphere or ocean).
