Positives
- This course is very easy for students to navigate.
- Students earn a certificate if they complete the course.
Additional Prerequisites
- This course is part of a series of climate change courses from ClimateScience.
- Teachers and students will need to enroll and create a free account to use the course and save their progress.
- Students should have a basic understanding of climate change prior to beginning this course on undoing climate change.
- Students will need a computer and Internet connection to use the interactive features.
- Many would say that planting native trees and protecting existing forests is an easy task and a very sustainable solution, so make sure students aren't confused by the tree video.
- Note that this course is primarily about technical solutions, not necessarily the most effective solutions to climate change.
Differentiation
- This course provides two levels of learning. Before enrolling in the course, users can scroll down and use the button to toggle between. "Simple" and "Advanced." The "Simple" setting is recommended for middle school students, while the "Advanced" setting is recommended for high school students.
- Stronger students can spend time reading and exploring any of the links to actual scientific papers.
- Students can proceed through this course at their own pace.
- Cross-curricular connections can be made with economics and social studies classes when discussing the costs and potential side effects of various solutions on different countries or communities.
- Biology classes could discuss some of the carbon sequestration solutions presented that may have negative health and ecological side effects.
- Other resources to consider on this topic include this video about food waste, this article about forests, and this video about the ability of whales to sequester carbon.
