Climate Change: Effects: Climate and the Economy Gr. 5-8

An engaging addition to any middle-grade science curriculum, this resource is specifically designed for students in grades 5 to 8. It allows a deeper understanding of the far-reaching impacts of climate change on both the environment and human society.

On Earth's History:

This insightful teaching guide extends classroom instruction beyond theory with a journey into Earth's history - i.e., examination of ice ages and their effects on early human populations.

Hands-on Experiments:

Students learn through interactive, hands-on experiments illustrating how melting ice sheets can dramatically alter sea levels.
Learners get an opportunity to create physical models demonstrating rising sea levels in real-time.

Economic Implications of Climate Change:
The resource introduces learners to recent extreme weather patterns influenced by climate change along with potential health hazards such as pollution, heatstroke, and insect-borne diseases. It also highlights the devastating effects of climate change on farming industries.

About Integrated Learning Approach:

The resource emphasizes an integrated learning approach that enables students to select a specific ecosystem for more in-depth exploration. This involves research on biodiversity including plant life, wildlife and overall balance within that ecosystem under threat from climatic changes.

This comprehensive educational tool is designed based upon Bloom's Taxonomy principles and STEAM initiatives. The package includes:

Answer keys for comprehension quizzes
Ramified interactive components - crossword puzzles & word search activities
Inventive project-based assignments

Note:This educational resource, with its explicit focus on environmental science and offered in a convenient downloadable PDF format, aims to foster critical thinking among students about pressing environmental concerns while shaping them into responsible global citizens.
