Climate Change

Worksheet Description

The “Climate Change” Sustained Research worksheet is structured to guide students through an in-depth exploration of climate change. It encourages them to investigate what climate change is, the history of our awareness of it, the human activities contributing to it, and the evidence supporting or refuting our impact. The worksheet further directs students to consider the political, economic, social, and agricultural impacts of climate change, as well as any potential positive effects. After initial research, students are expected to formulate a focused research question related to human behavior and climate change and conduct more detailed research to answer this question.

This worksheet is intended to educate students on the multi-dimensional aspects of climate change, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the issue. It teaches students to engage with a significant global challenge critically, examining the scientific, socio-political, and economic dimensions involved. The assignment enhances research skills by guiding students to formulate and answer a specific, in-depth question after a preliminary broad research phase. Additionally, it encourages the development of analytical thinking as students must interpret and synthesize diverse information to support their findings and conclusions.
