Pbs Learning Media: Bringing Global Climate Change Into the Classroom

Making Climate Change Relatable to Teens: The goal of my Earth and Environmental Science course is to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. By framing my class and instruction around these major themes, I reframe the scope and practice of teaching Earth Science into a more relevant, personal, and connected way -- an approach that relates directly to them.
