This lesson plan aims to teach students about global warming over the course of four to five class periods. Students will form definitions of the greenhouse effect, discuss perspectives on global warming, analyze diagrams and resources, hypothesize effects of warming, research primary sources, compare viewpoints in a Venn diagram, take a position and support it with evidence, and create a final project expressing their view. Activities include class discussions, brainstorming, research, and a persuasive writing assignment. The goal is for students to understand the science and debate around this issue.
This document provides a teacher guide for a lesson on what is causing global warming. It includes instructions for presenting a slide show, showing two video clips, and having students complete worksheets. The slide show covers factors that influence climate like the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases. One video clip is a 1-minute commercial downplaying the role of CO2, while the other is a 5-minute documentary supporting the scientific consensus on CO2's role. The teacher guide provides discussion questions to analyze the videos and evaluate scientific claims in the media. The goal is for students to understand natural and human factors affecting climate change.

Melting of Ice Caps and Glaciers - Sunny, CharlotteTom McLean
This document summarizes the key causes and effects of melting ice caps and glaciers. Global warming has led to a 29.4% reduction in glaciers in the North Sea since 1979. Melting ice caps are causing sea level rise and will displace millions of climate refugees in coastal areas by 2100. International cooperation is needed to enact policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while individuals can help by adopting more sustainable lifestyles.
Visual Communication of the Environment in Theory and Practice: Nurturing Rel...EcoLabs
Image-makers have the unique ability to make invisible ecological processes and relationships visible, tangible and accessible. Within the context of an increasingly visual culture, images have potential to nurture the development of new perceptual capabilities and encourage relational perception. Graphic design is well suited to facilitate environmental learning since it can draw on a wide variety of visual strategies to display specific geographic spaces, ecological processes, abstract concepts and future scenarios. With design strategies, image-makers can reveal relationships, patterns and dynamics in complex systems. For these reasons, graphic design has exceptional potential to support relational perceptual practices and ecological literacy.
This document discusses the causes, effects, and responses to global warming. It states that increased levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in recent years are largely due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, waste dumping, and deforestation. This has led to effects like changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels, and more frequent extreme weather events. Some responses that could help mitigate global warming mentioned include reducing methane emissions from agriculture and switching to renewable energy sources like solar power.
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere and warming the Earth. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane, released through human activities like burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation, as well as deforestation. Individual carbon footprints measure the direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions associated with a person's activities and lifestyle. Reducing emissions through changes like using less energy, driving less, recycling, and consuming less can help address global warming.

Stratégie territoriale d'innovation aux Sables d'Olonne AgglomérationTHE INSPERIENCE.CO
L'histoire commence avec une rencontre et se termine avec une feuille de route ambitieuse qui fixe une stratégie territoriale d'innovation à 3 ans visant à transformer cette destination vacances en phare de l'innovation dans l'Ouest de La France.
// La rencontre, point de départ
Le tout part du hasard. Je rencontre Brigitte Tesson, adjointe au maire des Sables d'Olonne et, à cette époque, vice-présidente de la Communauté de Communes des Olonnes (devenue Sables d'Olonne Agglomération le 1er janvier 2017) en charge de la commission "Innovation et Développement Technologique...". Nous échangeons, elle découvre notre métier et me confie :
"L’air marin, les plages, les marais et le Vendée Globe ne suffissent pas, face au dynamisme et à la visibilité des réseaux de Nantes et de La Roche-sur-Yon en matière d’innovation, à attirer de nouveaux talents. Au contraire, les capacités d’innovation qui caractérisent les Olonnes restent bien souvent invisibles face à l’image vieillissante qu’incarne, pour beaucoup, cette destination-vacances. Comment peut-on faire pour que ça change ?"
On creuse quelques pistes ensemble, elle apprécie l'échange, et je vois que ça lui fait du bien de penser à du concret. Et pour cause, cela faisait plusieurs mois que les élus de sa commission travaillaient à structurer des réseaux à forte valeur ajoutée sur le territoire, à identifier des premiers freins pour "libérer les capacités d'innovation" aux Olonnes, et il était temps, maintenant, ils le souhaitaient tous, passer à l'action ! Et écrire, de manière concrète, une stratégie territoriale d'innovation pour les Olonnes.
// Un défi ambitieux est fixé
Et si nous faisions en sorte que l’agglomération des Sables d’Olonne devienne le phare de l’innovation de l’Ouest, que des entreprises innovantes s’y installent, y invitent leurs clients, leurs partenaires et recrutent des jeunes pour dynamiser le territoire ?
// Une stratégie territoriale co-construite
Partant de ce défi, nous proposons aux Sables d'Olonne Agglomération une démarche de co-construction en 4 temps :
-une phase d'immersion terrain à la rencontre des acteurs socio-économiques pour comprendre les attentes latentes sur le territoire
-une phase d'acculturation pour les élus de la commission pour leur donner les clés d'une stratégie territoriale d'innovation
-une journée de co-création avec les élus, agents, acteurs socio-économiques et citoyens pour, partant des "points froids" identifiés sur le territoire, faire émerger des idées nouvelles pour le dynamiser
-une phase de prise de recul par l'agence the insperience.co pour transformer les productions de la journée en une stratégie territoriale d'innovation concrète et communicable
// Des résultats au-delà des attentes

1) The document outlines a lesson plan on finding the center and radius of a circle given the general equation of the circle. It includes objectives, subject matter, methodology, and assignments.
2) Students will complete activities to practice transforming general equations into standard form (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2 and determining the center (h, k) and radius r.
3) The lesson teaches the key concept of completing the square to transform trinomials into perfect square form in order to solve for the center and radius of circles.
This lesson plan is for a 45-minute English class for 5th grade students. The lesson topic is describing people. The objectives are for students to make two sentences describing a person or friend and use adjectives like old, young, fat, and short to describe different people. Activities include warming up by having the teacher describe themselves, revising the previous lesson, presenting new content, practicing description by going around the class, writing descriptions, and evaluating students' abilities to describe people. Homework is to write 10 sentences describing family members using adjectives from the lesson.
The document outlines an English lesson plan for 10th grade students in Hue, Vietnam. The 45-minute lesson focuses on reading about the history of cinema. Students will develop reading skills and learn new vocabulary words related to films. The lesson involves warm-up activities, pre-reading vocabulary instruction, a reading comprehension activity with true/false and multiple choice questions, and a post-reading discussion about favorite films. The plan anticipates that some students may struggle with vocabulary and provides solutions to help elicit meanings.
The lesson plan discusses measures of central tendency for ungrouped data. It defines the three measures - mean, median, and mode. The lesson explains how to calculate each measure through examples and formulas. Students will practice finding the mean, median, and mode of various data sets.
Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium to travel. It is produced when an object vibrates, exerting a force on the surrounding air or medium. The loudness of a sound is measured in decibels, with louder sounds having higher amplitudes. Sound travels fastest through materials with high density, as the closer molecules can transfer energy more quickly through collisions. The human ear can detect sounds from 20-20,000 Hz but some animals can hear ultrasonic or infrasonic waves outside this range.
This lesson plan aims to teach students about global warming through class discussions, research, and a final project. Students will form definitions of the greenhouse effect, analyze diagrams and resources on global warming, conduct research on different perspectives in the debate, compare viewpoints in a Venn diagram, take a position and support it with evidence. The lesson relates to national science, geography, health, world history, and language arts standards and is estimated to take 4-5 class periods plus time for a final project.
The document discusses various note-taking methods including the Cornell note-taking system, column notes, and clock buddies. The Cornell system involves dividing a page into three sections - a cue column on the left, a note-taking column on the right, and a summary section at the bottom. Column notes also separate information into columns by type. Clock buddies is a partnering method where students are assigned partners based on positions on a clock face.
This document outlines a case study that uses the Back to the Future films as a framework to discuss global warming. Students will be divided into two groups to research and debate whether changes should be made to prevent global warming or keep the year 2007 as is. The case study aims to develop students' research, critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. It will follow a debate format using activities, readings, films, and guest speakers to guide students in completing performance tasks and arguing their assigned position on addressing or not addressing global warming.
Incorporating the global warming issue into a ktsp paper-teflin 2010Mierza Miranti
This document summarizes a paper that describes integrating the issue of global warming into an English language lesson in Indonesia. It provides background on the KTSP curriculum and the goals of developing students as global citizens. It then discusses the ongoing debate around global warming, noting there are two sides - some believe it is occurring and human-caused, while others believe the data is unreliable. The lesson will expose students to research supporting both perspectives in order to have them think critically and take a stance in a debate.

This slideshow outlines a 2-week class project called "Global What?" where students will study global warming and its effects. They will construct a poster presentation displaying what global warming is and how it affects both individuals and Earth. The project aims to help students understand global climate concepts like how global warming affects humans, the ozone layer, and more. It will involve time outdoors observing temperature/weather patterns. The roles of teachers, parents, and students are defined to ensure the project's success.
This document summarizes a paper addressing climate change and government policy. It reconciles criticisms from Lindzen and Hayward regarding the IPCC's view of anthropogenic climate change. Two studies found over 90% of peer-reviewed articles support the IPCC's conclusion of a human cause. The paper argues government should mitigate greenhouse gas emissions through a cap-and-trade system to reduce costs and benefits of carbon reduction policies. It concludes the Obama administration should immediately implement cap-and-trade to lower emission levels.
This document outlines a lesson plan for a 6th year science class on environmental problems and air pollution. It includes the aims of developing students' speaking, cognitive thinking, and writing skills through analyzing pictures, reading facts, and devising additional facts about air pollution. The lesson involves students looking at pictures showing air pollution, identifying causes, reading provided facts, and writing 3 additional facts in groups. The teacher assesses students through questioning, observation, and checking homework and written activities.
1) The lesson plan introduces climate change to first-year environmental engineering students. Students will work in groups to discuss examples of individual actions to reduce climate change and later present projects on environmentally friendly inventions.
2) Activities include a survey on climate change, multimedia presentations on the topic, group discussions and presentations, and a take-home project. Feedback will be provided by teachers and peers to guide learning.
3) The goal is to develop students' collaboration, presentation, and English language skills while increasing their awareness of climate change and ways to address it.
This document outlines a student activity to investigate global warming. Students will be split into groups that research what causes global warming, document its local consequences through photos/videos, and design a poster with solutions. They will create a PowerPoint on causes, a Flickr page showing local impacts, and a Glogster poster with solutions. The activity aims to educate students on this important issue and steps that can be taken to address it.
Constructivism is a theory of learning that suggests humans construct knowledge and meaning from their experiences. Key theorists like Piaget and Dewey influenced the development of constructivism and progressive education. Constructivist teaching approaches encourage active learning through exploration, hands-on activities, social interaction and reflection on experiences. This allows students to build new understandings based on what they already know. Teachers act as guides to challenge students and create meaningful lessons.

This document provides information on 15 national parks in Greece, including their names, areas in hectares, maps, photos and brief descriptions. The parks cover a wide range of habitats from coastal and marine environments like the Zakynthos National Marine Park which protects sea turtles, to high alpine areas like the Vikos-Aoös National Park with elevations up to 2,497 meters and diverse flora and fauna. Taken together, the national parks represent many of Greece's unique ecosystems and protect over 1,700 plant species and important endemic wildlife.
Eight threats face Mount Parnitha National Forest: 1) Accumulation of waste due to delays in collection disperses waste over long distances. 2) Illegal hunting of birds, hares, and deer occurs despite being prohibited, as the large area is difficult to control. 3) Facilities displace plant species and disturb animals. 4) Fir forests face drying problems from the Gryphalus piceae insect, killing an estimated 50,000 trees annually in recent years. 5) Pine forests are threatened by the harmful insects Marchalina hellenica and Thaumetopaea pityocampa which cause drying.
The document discusses several environmental disasters including Chernobyl, toxic algae in the Mediterranean Sea, Nevada atomic bomb tests, Bhopal gas tragedy, and Tokaimura nuclear accident. It describes the events and impacts of each disaster, such as radiation release at Chernobyl leading to forest damage and contamination of groundwater, toxic algae overtaking native species in the Mediterranean, and ongoing health issues from the Bhopal gas leak. The document also notes international agreements on nuclear testing due to health effects of radiation exposure.
The Chernobyl disaster was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred in 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. An explosion and fire released large amounts of radioactive particles into the atmosphere, spreading over much of Europe. In the most affected areas, levels of radioactivity in drinking water caused concern for weeks and months. Some animals in the worst areas died or stopped reproducing, while the next generation appeared normal. Groundwater was not badly affected as radionuclides decayed or were absorbed in soils before reaching groundwater.

2. Backgrounder for Teachers
Is human activity bringing about alarming global warming scenarios and related catastrophes? Or
is such thinking a myth brought about by flawed or incomplete science? Finding the answers to
these questions has turned global warming into a highly politicized and contentious issue.
Until about 1960, most scientists thought it implausible that humans could actually affect
average global temperatures. (See NOW's “History of Global Warming” at
http://www.pbs.org/now/science/climatechange.html)
Today, most scientists agree that Earth's temperature has risen over the past century and that
carbon dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
Disagreement persists, however, over whether or not global climate change is a normal
environmental variation, and over how big of a problem global warming could become for the
planet.
Amidst such controversy, world leaders have met and outlined legal rules, known as the Kyoto
Protocol, to limit the emissions of greenhouse gases. One hundred forty countries that
collectively represent 61.6% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide have ratified the Kyoto
Protocol.
The United States does not support the Kyoto Protocol and disagrees with a number of its
provisions. Instead, the U.S. is funding additional scientific research on the causes and effects of
global warming, encouraging climate change technology research and development efforts,
looking at how its own federal and state laws can regulate greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S.,
backing the research and development of renewable energy sources, and pursuing other
strategies that it believes will address global climate change without major upsets to the U.S.
economy.
Assumed Student Prior Knowledge
Students should be familiar with the terms, "global warming," the "greenhouse effect," and
"greenhouse gases." Also, they should be aware that the U.S. is a leading producer of greenhouse
gas emissions that contribute to global warming.
Teaching Strategy
Part 1: Reviewing the Facts: What is The Greenhouse Effect? (30 minutes)
1. Before class begins, post the term, "greenhouse effect" where students can see it.
2. To begin the class, ask students to think without talking about a definition for the greenhouse
effect. Give them a minute to formulate their ideas and then have them write down their
definitions so they can share them.
3. At the end of the allotted time, ask students to share their definitions with one or two other
students sitting nearby and compare the similarities and differences in their definitions. Allow a
few minutes for student pairs or groups to then combine their definitions into one that they
believe is the most accurate.
4. Begin a class discussion by asking several pairs/groups to share their definitions of the
greenhouse effect.
3. 5. Next, show students a Flash animation (found at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
Web site: http://www.epa.gov/globalwarming/kids/global_warming_version2.html) that
accurately describes the greenhouse effect and how it likely contributes to global warming. You
might have students take turns reading the dialogue balloons for the characters shown on the site.
Alternatively, the EPA Web site provides a simple diagram with text explanation of the
greenhouse effect at: http://www.epa.gov/globalwarming/kids/greenhouse.html. Ask students to
make any corrections to their definitions based on what they've learned.
Part 2: Making Predictions about the Effects of Global Warming (20 minutes)
With an understanding of the greenhouse effect and global climate change, students can now
make predictions about the potential impact of global warming.
1. Ask students to hypothesize about how the world's climate could change over the next 100
years if humans do nothing to limit the levels of their greenhouse gas emissions. Have them also
make predictions about the effects such climate changes could have on humans.
2. Working in pairs, small groups, or as a class, students should brainstorm a list of their ideas
related to these questions. Each student should record a copy of the list in order to refer back to it
later in the lesson.
Part 3: Comparing Points of View on Global Warming (90 minutes)
1. Begin by discussing the fact that not everyone agrees about global warming and climate
change. Use content from three NOW broadcasts to illustrate some of the controversy
surrounding global warming.
The Heat Over Global Warming
http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/304/
Climate Change and the Media Senate Hearings
http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/249/climate-change.html
God and Global Warming
http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/343/index.html
2. Pose the following question: In your opinion, has human activity caused the world's climate
to change over the past 100 years?
3. Distribute copies of the Handout: Global Warming Venn Diagram (see Materials Needed) and
review the directions for completing the diagram.
4. Using the resources listed on the handout, have students work in pairs, small groups, or as a
class to complete the graphic organizer. Encourage students to examine at least 4 of the
programs listed as a means of gathering information representative of a number of different
sources and points of view. Students should use at least two programs from the “NOW
Programs” list and at least 2 resources from the “Other Global Warming Resources” list. As
students research, direct them to note specific facts and use the back of the sheet to note more in-
depth details and cite their sources. This information will be used in class discussion as well as
in a later project.
4. Part 4: Forming Opinions about Global Warming (30 minutes)
Now that students have explored a variety of perspectives on global climate change, they will
take a position on the issue and support it with data from their previous research.
1. Ask students to write 2-3 persuasive paragraphs to answer the following questions:
In your opinion, is global warming an imminent world threat? Why or why not?
Based on your opinion, what actions do you believe should be taken to address the global
warming issue? Remind students to support their opinions with specific information from
the brainstorming lists created in Part 2 and their completed Venn Diagrams from Part 3.
2. Once students have organized their thinking on paper, give them the opportunity to share their
opinions with at least one other student in class. Do not allow discussion or debate; rather, allow
students to practice sharing what they have written so that others can hear the reasons behind
their positions.
Part 5: Final Project (45 minutes, plus outside preparation time)
1. Invite students to choose a project from the Handout: Global Warming Project List (see
Materials Needed). Alternatively, students could design a project of their own with teacher
approval. The goal of the project is for students to create something substantive that they can use
to share their positions on global warming and to increase awareness about its related issues.
2. Allow students one class period to begin work on their projects, then assign a completion date.
When projects are completed, display student projects and/or have students present them to the
class as a way of demonstrating their point of view on global warming issues.
Assessment Recommendations
Consider the following assessment ideas:
1. Give students completion grades for participating in class discussions and filling in the
Venn Diagram worksheet.
2. Using a scoring guide or a peer-evaluation rubric, provide students with feedback about
the effectiveness of their persuasive writing responses to the questions posed in Part 4 of
the lesson.
3. Using a scoring guide and a self-evaluation rubric, have the teacher and the student
evaluate his/her project using criteria established prior to completion of the assignment.
4. As students present their projects to one another, have their classmates complete a peer
evaluation form that assesses the effectiveness of the project in terms of providing factual
information to others.
Extension Ideas
1. For a good visual representation of the potential dangers of global warming, show students the
interactive map from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), located at:
http://www.climatehotmap.org/index.html. As a class, discuss what the various markers on the
map indicate. View the map as a whole. Then, click on the U.S. and selected other regions to
illustrate the widespread warning signs of global warming. Take time to go to the link focusing
5. on New Points (http://www.climatehotmap.org/newpoints.html) and discuss the number of
additions made since the map was first constructed a few years ago.
2. Explore what could happen to U.S. relations with other countries if:
Adequate alternative energy sources were developed and we no longer relied on imported
fossil fuels for power/fuel.
We fail to limit U.S. greenhouse gas emissions while other countries are actively
regulating such emissions.
3. Discuss the effects of greenhouse gasses on the overall health of people worldwide. Address
questions such as:
• What types of illnesses/diseases can be attributed to greenhouse gas emissions?
• How can changes in the world climate increase health risks for people worldwide?

well as information from other resources. Select a project from the list below illustrate your personal
opinions about global warming.
NOTE: Feel free to develop project ideas of your own. Get teacher approval on these BEFORE
beginning your work to be sure they are appropriate.
Project Ideas
• Create a game to help other students learn more about global warming.
• Conduct an experiment or make a scientific display illustrating the effects of greenhouse gasses.
• Create an advertising campaign to promote awareness of what causes global warming and
what people can do to prevent the release of greenhouse gasses.
• Write a fictional story or play illustrating the future effects of global warming/climate change.
• Create a diorama or 3-D model of how your state or country might be changed as a result of
climate changes brought on by global warming.
• Create a futuristic map of the world showing the effects of global warming/climate change on the
physical features of the land, the earth’s productivity, and the types of plant/animal life it can
support.
• Create a food web showing how global climate changes affect the food chain/ecosystems.
• Profile an alternative form of energy and teach other students in the class how renewable energy
sources can be used (e.g., profile solar energy and how the average citizen can incorporate this
into their everyday use) by creating a display or working model of this energy source.
• Create a timeline or series of graphs or charts that show the varying climates the world has
experienced since the Ice Age.
• Write a persuasive speech or letter to the editor that explains the need for further research into
global climate change.
• Create a series of charts or graphs showing the financial cost of enforcing global warming
legislation such as the Pavley Law or the Kyoto Protocol.
• Create a display showing the cost of developing and using alternative energy sources (e.g., solar
energy can be used in homes, but there is an initial cost of being able to do this as well as backup
plans needed if the source becomes unavailable).
• Research what scientists who do not support conventional global warming theories say about
changes in the earth’s climate and weather patterns and present these findings by creating a
magazine-type story, a public service announcement, or a mini documentary about your findings.
