Description

This is a great project to empower your students as you learn about climate change.

Give your students the opportunity to take action to reduce greenhouse gases. There are 3 different ways for your students to take action:

Individual level: Students work with their families and learn about their carbon footprint and commit to 3 ways to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Community level: Students inform and encourage teachers and students to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at school by making posters or PSA videos.

National level: Students write letters to their congressman to encourage them to take action against climate change at the national level.

The resource includes an overview page with the requirements for all the different projects, planning pages for each type of project, and a grading rubric.

This a fully editable powerpoint file so you can adjust the project to meet the needs of your students.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
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-ESS3-3
Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Examples of the design process include examining human environmental impacts, assessing the kinds of solutions that are feasible, and designing and evaluating solutions that could reduce that impact. Examples of human impacts can include water usage (such as the withdrawal of water from streams and aquifers or the construction of dams and levees), land usage (such as urban development, agriculture, or the removal of wetlands), and pollution (such as of the air, water, or land).
