4. How I use Smartboard?
• The first step is to introduce what we going to learned.
• Smartboard provides me ideas like using video or obvious pictures to
attract students attention.
• Doing research that gradually explain some key terms.
• Create some exercise which able students really engaged in it.
5. Let’s first look at a short video
and brain storming!
Adapting from the Smartboard, using a video
to introduce the topic and let students know
the importance of climate change.
6. Climate ≠ Weather (According to Smartboard, introduce the basic concepts)
• Weather is:
- Short term changes in atmospheric variables such as temperature and rainfall
- Can change rapidly
• Climate is:
- Long term state of atmospheric variables
So... Weather is what is happening outside right now and climate occurs over seasons
or longer
7. Human activity is changing our climate!
• The atmosphere acts like the
glass of a greenhouse
• The Greenhouse Effect makes
earth warm enough to live on
• Definition: The greenhouse
effect is the process by which
radiation from a planet's
atmosphere warms the planet's
surface to a temperature above
what it would be without its
atmosphere (Wikipedia).
8. Major Greenhouse Gases
● Carbon Dioxide
● Methane
● Nitrous Dioxide
● Ozone
● Chlorofluorocarbons
● Water Vapor
9. Global
Warming
What we have caused?
• Shrinking ice sheets
• Sea level increase
• Species Extinction
• Ocean Acidification
• Extreme weather
10. Changes will continue into the future
Increasing temperature poses severe
risks to natural systems and human
health. To avoid this level of warming, the
U.S. needs to reduce heat-trapping
emissions by at least 80 percent below
2000 levels by 2050
By learning from Smartboard, We also need
to consider what the future would be look
like
11. After we rise problems, we need to provide
solutions…
• Greening transportation
• International Engagement
• Phasing out fossil fuel electricity
• Developing and deploying new low-
carbon and zero-carbon technologies
• Managing forests and agriculture
12. Lifestyles Make Differences
Extreme Footprint
- More animal products (meat)
- More inorganic/ packaged food
- More individual transportation
- Never upgrades appliances
- Infrequently recycles
- Drives Truck 20 miles a day to work
- Flies frequently for job
Conservative Footprint
- Less meat, More organic foods
- Upgrades appliances when necessary
- Recycles frequently
- Lives close to work place
- Buses to downtown for job then
walks
- Takes local vacations or drives rather
than flying
13. How can We Make A
Difference? (little exercise)
• Footprint network calculator

rces/footprint-calculator/
Enhanced interaction with students
14. For Universal Design…
• Activity could increase students engagement.
• From a different perspective to understand the environmental
changes could cause students interest.
• Increase recognition network.
• Video and exercise provide multiple means of action and presentation.
• When introducing the concept, it allows teachers using surrounding
environments as examples,
