Environmental Conservation Classes for Grades 6-8
 Global Climate Change
Synopsis
In the year 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the Nobel Peace Prize for its work on researching and spreading the facts about global warming. CLIMB's engaging and thought-provoking class spreads some of that same information to teenagers, challenging them to consider where their opinions come from and to do their own research on any issue before committing to a viewpoint. Our Actor-Educators will leave your students with this message: Regardless of one's opinion on global climate change, it is everyone's responsibility to care for the environment.
Educational Objectives
- To assess the students' opinions on a) whether global climate change is happening as a result of human actions and b) how strongly they feel about that opinion
- To encourage students to look critically at the sources of their opinions and information
- To share with students basic scientific information about climate change
- To share some possible consequences for global climate change
- To explore the actions that individuals and communities can take to help the planet, whether they believe that humans are causing global climate change or not
