Weather Makers - Exploring Climate Change
This unit is based on Tim Flannery’s internationally acclaimed publication ‘We Are the Weather Makers‘. It presents climate science in a way that students and teachers can easily understand. Students learn the implications of global climate change but feel empowered to take action and do something about it. The activities are aligned with the ‘We Are the Weather Makers‘ book; however teachers can select particular lessons without reading the whole book.
