Climate Change - No Prep Lesson - PowerPoint™

Did you know that rising temperatures has resulted in more extreme weather events? Or, did you know that wildfire events are lasting longer? What about that due to milder winters, mosquitos are expanding their territory and bringing diseases with them?

Climate change is the long-term changes in global temperatures and other characteristics of the atmosphere. Climate has changed throughout Earth’s long history, but this time it’s different. Human activity is causing worldwide temperatures to rise higher and faster than any time we know of in the past. Perfect for dialogic reading.

This climate change themed no-prep lesson resource. If you are teaching about global warming there is a lot of information for students to process.

Children will be able to learn about what climate change is and the issues surrounding it. The slides are colorful and full of information. It’s a useful addition to any unit of work about the environment. There are duplicates of some slides depending on whether you prefer to use U.S. English or British English, simply delete the slide that contains the spelling that is not applicable to you. There are opportunities for children to answer questions, both structured and unstructured, to express their views and to do some research (under the supervision of a responsible adult if they are learning from home). This is a useful resource for distance learning, whole class teaching or for instruction in small groups using a device.
