Description:
This module provides elementary teachers with resources and activities to introduce students to understand the effects of climate change on living things. After reading through the scenario and using the additional resources provided, students complete investigations to further their understanding and consolidate their knowledge. All of the investigations are a beginners level and are listed below. They can be downloaded in full from the 'K-4 Climate: Living Things Module' link.
The NASA Global Climate Change Education/Earth Science Education Alliance (ESSEA) modules include situations, connections to standards, resources and sample investigations. Unless labeled K-4 the modules can be adapted for middle and high school students.
