The Science of Climate Change Explained: Facts, Evidence and Proof
by Julia Rosen, PhD (New York Times) Find scientifically accurate answers to the big questions such as "How do we know whether climate change is happening?", "Isn't climate change part of the planet's natural heating and cooling cycles?", "What is the evidence that humans are contributing to climate change?", and "How can we know for certain what the climate was like before historic records?" |

Kids and Climate ChangeA Climate Change Guide for Kids and What We Can Do About It
by Julia Rosen, PhD (New York Times) |
1. Dig Deeply Into the Science
Students deserve to have a scientific understanding of climate change based on observing and examining lines of evidence. Although standards may fragment climate change concepts, an interdisciplinary approach and systems thinking is needed. |
2. Explore Disproportionate Impacts
Climate change affects some communities more than others. Use local phenomena to study disproportionate impacts and to examine why vulnerable populations are impacted. Structured Academic Controversy is a way to teach students how to think, not what to think. |
3. Focus on Solutions and Resilience
Teaching students about climate change in isolation can contribute to eco-anxieties and disengagement. But teaching climate change in combination with environmental stewardship opportunities can improve student well-being and environmental outcomes. |

Are you already a Project WET-, Project Wild- or Project Learning Tree-certified Educator? If so, you have some climate change education tools at your fingertips. Here is the climate change correlation that shows all relevant, existing activities in the three curriculum guides (with links to a few bonus activities that anyone can access). |
Project WET's
Climate Water and Resilience Completion of a Climate, Water and Resilience workshop is required to obtain the curriculum guide. Online training and the curriculum are available together for $20 here. Sample lessons from "Climate Water and Resilience" are available here. "Using Project WET to Teach Climate Resilience" pdf free here.
