Climate Change and My World

Students in our public school system are exposed to the terms climate change and global warming almost regularly; however, the scientific research regarding the changes in Earth’s climate is not mandated literature in our national curriculum.  This unit is a tool that should be used by teachers to provide students with inquiry-based instruction about climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, their effect on the Earth, and suggestions for preserving our natural resources.  This unit is anticipated for students in Grade 3 and will help them to understand the affects of greenhouse gas emissions and the consequences on future generations, as well as how to halt and prevent future atmospheric damage.
