Climate Change and Global Warming Unit - Lessons, Assessments and Worksheets



Climate Change and Global Warming Unit - This Unit will take place over a 6-8 DAYS stretch and includes a THREE-DAY lesson (student and teacher versions of the Power Point), THREE videos, a debate assignment (which can be purchased separately) and a student lesson handout as a word document. The Power Point is fun and applicable with THREE videos embedded into the Power Point and many opportunities for inquiry-based learning and discussion. Designed for Middle/Secondary classes but can easily be adapted to fit an Elementary classroom.

The minds-on inquiry activities are meant to breakdown student misconceptions and help guide them to the correct concepts.

Please view the Preview File to obtain a sense of my style, see how my power point lesson is structured and evaluate my work.

Included in the lesson package is:

- The teacher version of the Power Point
- The student version of the Power Point
Climate Change Debate Assignment
- THREE videos embedded into the Power Point 
- Student lesson handout

In order, the lesson covers:
- Weather vs. Climate
- Earth’s energy supply
- The atmosphere
- Greenhouse gases
- The greenhouse effect
- Enhanced greenhouse effect
- The role of the carbon cycle
- Effects of global warming
- Historic climate change
- Climate proxies
- What you can do






The student version of the power point contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

My Climate Change Debate assignment can be found within the unit or purchased separately for $2.00 - HERE
