Earth Hour - Choose Your Climate Future

Students explore the future they would like to create by examining how they experience the present and how climate change might affect the future. They begin by spending time outside experiencing nature and imagining how this nature will be changed in the future. They then look at the Choose Your Climate Future website and analyse how climate change might affect various aspects of Australian life in the future. Finally, students are asked to imagine the future they would like to see through a visual storytelling activity.

Essential questions:

• How are we affected by our environment?
• How do we experience nature?
• How do we affect our environment?
• What is climate change and how will it affect our future?
• How can we affect our future?
