Science of Climate Change: Facts, Evidence, & Proof
by Julia Rosen, PhD for 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?" |
Climate Literacy: Essential Principles of Climate Science
by USGCRP This interagency guide provides essential principles for formal and informal education about climate change including Earth's climate, impacts of climate change, and approaches for adapting and mitigating change. Principles can serve as discussion starters or launching points for scientific inquiry. and serve educators who teach climate science as part of their science curricula. Free download. |

Latest Survey on Teaching Climate
|
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 impacts some communities more than others. Use local phenomena to study disproportionate impacts and to examine why vulnerable populations are affected. Also, see Strategies for Teaching Climate Change Equitably and Inclusively, below. |
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 improves both student well-being and environmental outcomes. |
Teaching amidst Controversy
Strong opinions about climate change can make this a difficult topic to teach. EEA recommends an evidence-based approach that empowers students to explore the data. For tips on teaching amidst controversy, click below

Teaching amidst Climate Anxiety
Climate-anxiety is a result of learning about the impacts of climate change while feeling helpless to affect the outcomes. Engaging students in climate mitigation and climate resilience projects can alleviate anxiety and empower them to make a difference.

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.
