Climate Change - is it really that bad? Let's ask Bill Nye!

Climate Change - is it really that bad? Let's ask Bill Nye! Today we will watch a short video that will kick off our new unit that takes a closer look at Climate Change. We will be working along with other teachers on our team to do a general study on Ecosystems around the world, how they have changed through history, the specific impacts in certain areas, and the change makers who are helping our planet. After our study on sustainability, we are ready to take a deeper look at what our earth looked like in the past, how it looks now and what we are headed for in the future.

 

Next, let's see what BrainPop has to say! (We can take the quiz too!)


After watching the videos, choose 2 of the following questions in your notebook.

 1) Why do you think some people deny climate change? How does that benefit them or the planet?

 or

 2) After our project on "Sustainability", have there been any lasting changes you've made? Do you feel like these changes can add up our does it just feel like "a drop in the bucket"?

 or

 3) What area of the world do you think is most affected by climate change? Are some areas more vulnerable than others?

 Be sure to COPY DOWN THE QUESTION so I know which one you are answering. We will share answers together in small groups and and as a whole class to being our learning!
