Instructional Ideas

  • Have the class explore future possibilities that could occur if the earth undergoes excessive global warming as a result of climate change
  • Discuss the past and present effects of climate change in terms of how humans have adapted, and how they continue to adapt

Classroom Considerations

  • Ensure everyone understands the concepts presented in this segment and know this is only a prediction of what could occur and not what will occur in the future
  • This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

  • Stunningly clear picture of what could occur should humans continue to misuse the resources found in nature
  • Explains long-term effects of climate change in such a way that even young learners have some understanding of the importance of better caring for the planet

Cons

  • None
