Climate change can be a difficult concept for some students to grasp and sometimes even more challenging to teach! The presenter will provide participants with practical tips and activities to bring climate change education into the classroom. The activities will be geared towards upper elementary to high school students. The participants should expect to engage in interactive activities that they can take back to their classes. Participants will play detective while learning how climate change is affecting the spread of waterborne diseases. Participants will also apply STEM concepts with “storm water” cleanup. All of the activities and lessons that are presented will be aligned with national science standards. Educators and facilitators can expect to gain insight and activities that can be realistically used in their classes to incorporate climate change education.
