The lesson plan discusses teaching students about mitigating the effects of climate change. It will: 1. Show a video on scientists protesting climate change and have students discuss what they observed. 2. Divide students into groups to analyze a graph on global temperature and carbon concentration over time. Each group will answer a question about the relationship between temperature, carbon levels, and climate change. 3. Lead a discussion on factors that affect climate, causes of climate change, and indicators of climate change. Students will consider the role of carbon in climate change. 4. Have students identify small actions they can take to reduce carbon emissions and lessen climate change impacts. They will then calculate their own carbon footprint and
