Incredible teaching methods for a lesson on causes of climate change, it includes the introductory, teaching phase and closure of the lesson.

1. Grade 11
Term 2
Week 5-7

4.  This is a method to use when avoiding to send learners all alone
down the bumpy, muddy path known as challenging text – a road
booby trapped with difficult vocabulary words.
 However, this does not mean giving learners a dozen of words to
look up in the dictionary, rather use a fun and interesting manner to
have them know the terms before the lesson – puzzle.
Why this method?
 Students lose interest – Arrives them at falling asleep, cause ruckus
 Encourage deep learning
 Free learners to explore new words and their meanings
 Also helps with pronunciation
 Help learners becomes comfortable with the language

6. Seasons end

28.  Climate refers to the average weather
experienced over a long period. The earths
Climate has changed many times in response to
natural causes. Our climate – Spring, Summer,
Autumn and Winter
 Climate change is often confused with global
warming and weather, the following clarify their
differences :

29. Climate change
 Climate only changes
over a longer period of
time. Many animals and
plants need one kind of
climate to survive , for
example – Dolphins and
Palm trees need a hot
climate , Polar Bears
and spruce trees need
a cold Climate.
Weather
 Weather is daily (day to
day) and happens usually
over a small period of
time. For example – sun,
rain, hail, snow, wind,
cloud, fog (haze) and
thunder and lightning.

30. Global warming
 Knapp B (2000) simply defines it as a recent increase in
the world’s temperature that is believed to be caused by
the increase of certain gases in the atmosphere.

31. Natural causes
 Volcanic eruptions
 Ocean currents
 Earth orbital changes
 Solar variation
Human causes
 Greenhouse gases
 Deforestation
 Coal mining
 Burning of fossil fuels
 Industrial processes (CO2)
 Agriculture
 Sources of emission (transportation)

32. Answer true or false to the following:
 Climate change is the same as global warming?
 Climate change is caused by humans only?
 Climate change is a recent phenomena?
 Climate consist of 6 season?

33.  Tell me I forget, show and I remember, involve me and I
understand.
 Ever been interrupted by someone while you are trying to
explain to them by saying ‘just show me’ ?!
Why this method?
 Tell- provide learners with key information related to their
learning (facts, concepts, rules, procedures)
 Show- Demonstrating examples of the lesson
 Do- After examples provision, give your learners opportunity to
do what you have just taught them
 Apply- Learners plan out how they will apply their knowledge
in their own environments

35.  In groups of five, learners are expected to make a
presentation of ten minutes, detailing the causes of
climate changes and the benefits of recycling. (20 Marks)
 Requirements
 Each individual to present
 Prove of the contributors
 Use of equipment's if necessary
 Presentation should be of a max of 3 minutes

37.  Why this method?
 allows students to become active participants in their
learning
 exposes students to diverse ideas and approaches
 acknowledges and utilises individual students' strengths
and expertise
 through discussion, helps students articulate their ideas,
refine concepts and develop interpersonal and
communication skills
 facilitates a deeper understanding of course content

38. 2. Why is it important for the students to know this?
 You control climate change – so this is to inform you to
turn down, switch off, recycle and walk.
6. Other factors that Influence your teaching of this idea?
 The science cannot fully be understood – many attempts
to educate the public or kids about climate change have
relied on scare tactics that focus on super storms,
massive floods just to generate fear.
 Misconception between terms ( Climate change, global
warming & weather , temperature)
