            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?"

TEACHING PRACTICES

STEM Practice Briefs: The 3 Most Important Strategies for Teaching about Climate Change

Picture
Picture
Picture
          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.
Learn More
     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.
Learn More
    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.

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.
Project WILD's
​Climate & Wildlife
The Climate and Wildlife curriculum guide is available for $19.68 here and the corresponding online training is available for $20 here. There is also a special offer for free online Climate and Wildlife training for K-12 teachers and college professors in fall of 2022, here. 
PLT's Carbon & Climate;
SE Forest and Climate Change
​
The Southeastern Forest and Climate Change e-unit, including 14 activities for high school students, is theoretically available for free, without a workshop, here (though may be out of stock). The Carbon and Climate e-unit for middle grades is $25 without training or $40 with training, here.
