Learning Intentions

Climate Change

1. Understand the causes of climate change, including natural and human-induced factors.

2. Analyze the evidence for climate change from historical and modern data.

3. Explain how climate change impacts Earth’s systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.

4. Evaluate potential solutions to mitigate climate change and its effects.

Success Criteria

✅ I can identify and describe natural and human-caused factors that contribute to climate change.
✅ I can interpret data from ice cores, tree rings, and atmospheric CO₂ measurements to explain past and present climate trends.
✅ I can explain how increasing greenhouse gases affect global temperatures and weather patterns.
✅ I can analyze how climate change impacts ecosystems, sea levels, and extreme weather events.
✅ I can evaluate different strategies for reducing carbon emissions and increasing sustainability.
✅ I can construct an argument using scientific evidence to explain the causes and consequences of climate change.
