Weather Makers - Tuning in to our environment

In this tuning in activity students are asked to think about what they already know of climate change and to use this knowledge to make predictions about what will happen to our environment in the future. Students begin by identifying environmental problems that they know about and want to know about. Working collaboratively, students will then identify their top 10 environmental problems and will speculate on how different the environment of 2200 will be to the environment of today. Finally students are asked to create a timeline of environmental change for the future.

These activities “… are an invaluable tool for teachers to address climate change in an educationally relevant, scientifically sound, and action-­based way.” – Tim Flannery
