Open to Grades 11-12
Credits: 1
The Climate Change course allows students to take an interdisciplinary look at this complex issue. Students spend the first semester exploring the causes of climate change, discovering the scientific reasons behind the environmental effects we observe, and looking at the roles humans have played in these changes. The second semester focuses on climate justice, activism, and solutions: who benefits from climate change, who suffers, and what can we do about it? Throughout the course, students follow current events and keep a weekly journal documenting their thoughts and findings.
