A Multitude of Media |
|
|
| Climate Change is such a “hot topic” that even NASA has their eyes on it. Found in the top of the Explore the Web section is NASA’s Climate Kids site for students. This website provides a ton of kid-friendly information, including the answer to the inevitable question: How can this be the hottest year ever if the winter has been so cold? There’s even a Climate Bingo card game to teach students to be on the lookout for things that are good for our environment or that can help reduce global warming. If they’re still clamoring for more, encourage students to explore The Climate Time Machine to discover both past and future climate changes. |

Project Idea |
|
|
| Together, we can! Climate change is too large of a problem to be solved by one individual, but many individuals doing their part can start to reverse the effects. The Explore More section links to an insightful article “Global Warming, What Can You Do?” that provides simple ideas students can do to positively affect climate change. Have each student choose one tip and create a poster pledging to follow that idea. Display their posters in April in honor of Earth Day. |

Melissa’s Tip
of the Month |
|
|
| Using the flexible lesson plans included in each unit |
|
|
Don’t forget that each unit includes a lesson plan, found by clicking on the green star on the home page of the unit. These lesson plans include watching the video, reading the book, introducing vocabulary and extension activities. They can be modified to extend a unit, or you can simply take the pieces that work for you. |
