Teaching Materials
Positives
- This data shows the strong belief in the U.S. that climate change is real, which is often not the perception of U.S. opinion.
- This resource is also a great jumping off point for discussions about polling, data science, and the connection between public opinion and government policy.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should have some understanding of the differences between counties, metro areas, and congressional districts.
- Students should have a basic understanding of climate change.
Differentiation
- Some students will need guiding questions and more time to process before discussing. There is a lot of data that can be viewed, so give some guidance or direction for what students should do when on the site.
