Climate Change

Climate Change

    In class today, we did an activity relating to climate change. I enjoyed discussing this topic, as it is something that affects the day-to-day life of everyone. Not to mention, this will continue to be the case as long as no long-term solution is enacted. In our activity today, we discussed potential solutions to this issue based on an interactive graph that we were able to manipulate. Some, if not all solutions that were proposed are much, much easier said than done. For example, while obviously, it would be beneficial for the environment to dramatically decrease carbon emissions all at once, this is simply not a realistic option.

Below are other solutions that were presented.

    As a class, we came to the conclusion that a solution in which carbon emissions are gradully decreased over many years is the best solution.

    I really enjoyed manipulating the interactive graph. Something that I will focus on in my future classroom is incorperating hands-on activities in as many lessons as possible. Becuase the lesson will be paired with something that the student was able to work with, the content is more likely to be retained.
