Teaching Materials
Positives
- The interactive provides two ways for students to explore data (bar chart and table).
- The Sources section explains how the data was collected.
Additional Prerequisites
- Learners need to understand the impact of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Educators should familiarize themselves with this resource before using it in the classroom.
- The per capita greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) per person per year.
Differentiation
- Social studies classes could compare and contrast the greenhouse gas emissions by sector for high-income countries and low-income countries. After examining the data, students could read the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and discuss how the countries can work together to lower global greenhouse gas emissions.
- Math classes can use the table to examine concepts of relative change and absolute change.
