Lesson One | SDG #13: Climate Action
In this lesson, students learn about United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #13: Climate Action. They will examine the causes and consequences of climate change and explore possible courses of action to address the issue. Students will engage in activities to reflect on previous knowledge, develop new learning, and encourage creative and critical thinking.
Some of the activities in this lesson include a KWL Chart using Jamboard, a think-pair-share, a cause and effect graphic organizer, and a Flip video. These individual and collaborative learning experiences will help students deepen their understanding of climate change and its impact on communities locally and globally. Through these activities, students will communicate what they have learned about climate change and sustainability and utilize problem-solving skills to generate tangible solutions.
