Take the One-Tonne Challenge!
Young scholars explore about the One-Tonne Challenge, and work out how they could reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by one tonne, through individual actions and by influencing other people. Students use a GHG emission table to...
Curated OER
Local Acts Make Impacts
Learners research and promote one local action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their community through an integrated unit project. Students evaluate possible ways to reduce emissions and review major and local contributing factors....
Curated OER
Research Question - Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Students review information from concept map to identify possible causes of greenhouse gas emissions, choose factor that they feel is largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in their town, and write research question on topic.
Population Connection
The Carbon Crunch
Carbon is in the air; should we care? Teach the class why it is important to pay attention to carbon levels and how the world population and various countries across the globe affect the carbon levels in the atmosphere. High schoolers...
