Week 1: Introduction

On the  initiative of  the Groupe Scolaire Al-Falah Taza,  and in collaboration with Taza Provincial Directorate of the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training,  the school's Environment Club, hereby, expresses its commitment to the Climate Action Project.

 Groupe Scolaire Al-Falah Taza students  have bought themselves sometime to go back to their notes, and elaborate on them and come to tell us, in three different languages, what is  causing local and  global climate change, in their opinion.

At the first week, student are expected at the end of the week to know what is responsible for the changing climate at their home country Nigeria and the rest of the globe.

During week one, we engaged our students in  group discussions to identify the causes of climate change in the world. They worked in groups doing a research on the causes of climate change. We also discussed what climate is and the differences between climate and weather. At the end of the week, students were able to create a video on the causes of climate change.

An interview with Francis & Sheldin regarding what they think is Climate Change.

In this week we searched the difference between climat and weather, the climate changement and his causes. We used a paper slide video in French language 

Week1: Focusing on Climate Change Causes
Procedure:
--> Dividing the class in teams and each team will create his own production

The students of AMAISB researched about different factors that are effecting our environment and causing the climate  change. 

Students ask their pioneer how seasons change in Bangladesh? In our country, we have a six seasons but nowadays the seasons has been changed. The students can know that only two seasons mainly observed such as summer and winter. Why it is? In Bangladesh plastic disposal and Industries wastage, black-smoke of vehicles are enormous threads for climate change.

In this creative video, some WSA G10 students explain what is the difference between Weather and Climate and if Climate change is caused entirely by humans or just it only worsen it.

SCHOLARS PUBLIC SCHOOLS -  Shout Out

The  students of Scholars Public School   produce a Shout Out around that we have stepped forward to fight back the burning issue Climatic Change by indulging in the Global project. This projects aims towards Common Goal and Mission for  a Clean  and Green Life on Earth. 

The students researched and peer mentored to understand the difference between climate and weather. They referred to newspaper, online websites and other sources and came to the conclusion that the climate of Earth is changing drastically and unfortunately the only culprit for this disaster is us, HUMAN BEINGS.

I am working in collaboration  with my students and we are committed to improve our environment. We have observed that the single use plastic is a major threat to the environment. So we are in a mission to stop using the single use plastic. 

Presentation of some key causes by 7 year olds.

Primary school students from Grade 4 and 5, attempted a listening engagement- Difference between Weather and Climate,&nbsp; Watched various videos about Climate change,&nbsp; Read a comprehension passage shared their perspective through Visible thinking Routine, Read a Story related to it and shared their understanding.&nbsp; Students also created poster to spread Awareness,&nbsp; one of the student propagated plants to distribute in his neighborhood at his home.&nbsp;</p>

Students check in their vicinity the probable reasons for the increasing  pollution and what leads to Climate Change in India.

Students have been explained about the "Climate Change Project" and have been given opportunities & platforms to understand and present on "What is Climate change and its cause." The presentations done are in the ppt format and group discussions happened using the ppt.

A video was shot while the students presented the ppt.  A pdf of the ppt & a Youtube link of their recorded presentations are attached.  

In our world Human have a very intelligent brain .....so all the animals human's are very intelligent because of they use their brain....... but now a days Humans destroy our planet and our green Energy........ example - cut the trees , global warming, waste water , air pollution, water pollution, all types of pollution....................i am a teacher and i believe that i am a Changemaker because of i have power of my student .......... in the school days i tell then all the good point of our life and our planet so they know what is right and wrong ........ they know their duty, responsibility to protect our planet

Teaching About the Natural World

The lessons that nature has to teach us are never ending. Being immersed in the natural flow of plant and animal life cycles, weather patterns, seasons, and the intricate dance connecting everything helps us find our own balance in the flow of life.

It’s not surprising that children who play outside are healthier mentally, emotionally, and physically. Human beings have spent nearly the entirety of our existence outside. Our connection to the natural world is so profound that when we are deprived of it, it’s no surprise that we don’t fare well. More and more adults are recognizing the importance of outdoor play for children, and the value of unstructured nature-based explorations. In addition to this shift to include nature-based activity or “green exercise,” teachers and parents, environmentalists, and policy-makers have begun to realize that outdoor play and nature-based learning leads children toward a sense of environmental stewardship. 

Simply put, connecting with nature means appreciating nature and wanting to take care of it.

Getting children back to nature is easy, fun, and beneficial in every way. And it seems
the simpler the outdoor play, the better. Letting children loose with nothing more than a stick and a pile of dirt is about the nicest thing we can do for them.

Your Teaching Community
I am a primary teacher. My school is in very rural areas. In my areas many people do farming . So it's green zone. But now a days the climatic change because of global warming so the people can't get enough money. So they move to the city life and in the city life we know our lifestyle ..... We get so many things from nature but we can't get back to the nature nature gives us oxygen and we gives us to nature carbon dioxide but we cut the trees so that the water level is low and we can't do it anything so my aim is student know the reason behind the climate change students know what is the main reason too less water and this is the age that they know what is wrong and what is right so when they and when they will grow up that time the tendency is change ....

Students learnt about climate change and its causes. First , they all had to brainstorm if climate change was happening or not.  After that they had some thinking time to feel any changes in their climate. Once they all agreed on the premise that climate change was happening, then they got on reading some articles in pairs and from various reliable sources of information like Natgeo, NASA and UN articles to read about  the causes. Some of the causes discussed in class were : Greenhouse effect,the increase in the level of CO2 in the atmosphere has caused the earth's temperature to rise, observations like melting of polar ice caps, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, glaciers , due to the increase in global temperature . Extreme events and acidic level rise in oceans due to absorbption of CO2 by oceans. We'll continue our discussion on carbon footprint in our everday lives this week.

Hansraj Model School, Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi organized an array of activities for the students of all classes to sensitize them about the urgent need to save our planet from rapid climate chamge and ozone depletion. Emphasizing the immediate need to plant more trees and prevent environment degradation

Causes and Effects of climate change by the students of Shining star International School Abu Dhabi.

Students of Grade 1-5 took part in the climate action project and what they did was amazing. They knew what are the real causes of Climate change and how it is affecting us 

Boys played a game with a teacher, interacting about climate change and it's causes. It was really an awesome day 

In Week 1, HNTL students studied the differences between Weather and Climate, why we need to study climate and how to measure the ancient climate. They also explored the causes of climate change.

Students had one week to prepare at home the assignment given to them by the project leader. Each group studied a small part of the content in Week 1.

Parents also joined the project. They took the children to the library to study the project and helped them practice at home.

Following the "Green School Year" environmental project, on October 13, 2019, the fundraising event, "VAS GREEN DAY RUN" was organized at Sala Mega Campus in District 2, Ho Chi Minh City with 2.500 participants including managers, staffs, teachers, students and their families. This is the first running competition that Vietnam Australia International School (VAS) has organized with the purpose of raising funds to plant mangrove forest in Can Gio district, in Ho Chi Minh City.
In addition to creating a sports playground for the VAS community, each runner who participates in the event will contribute one tree to the forest and hopefully, there will be a forest with at least 2,000 trees in Can Gio grown by VAS to provide more clean air to Ho Chi Minh City through this project. But the result of today’s event is that 2.500 trees were contributed to Can Gio Mangrove Forest. And still counting...

Do you know about the problem of the Green Dot symbol in the EU? Let us explain and visit www.soyouthinkyoucanrecycle.com to join our movement. 

We didn't have so much time, unluckily. As a matter of fact, we could work on the project only for three classes so the students decided to make a video in which they explain how they are working and what thet have found out so far. No time to rehearse, but I am happy because they did their best and did it enthusiastically

 Topics:- Brainstorming ideas about Climate change  (teacher-led activity)

Great lesson about  the causes of Climate change!

We have been watching and studying all the matherials  of the project and this is the beginning

Participating teachers:

1. Kostovska Liljana

2. Dinevska Zorica

For our students we held a presentation which got them closer with the problems of the climate changes. After that, the students were "brainstorming" and they concluded that our own environment affects the climate change. They were covinced that the pollution is the main problem for the climate changes. After that as a contribution for better and cleaner environment we participated in a cleaning action and flowers planting in our surrounding.

Global warming and climate change encompasses not only rising average temperature. It's also extrem weather events, shifting populations and habitats, rising seas and other impacts

We talked about causes of climate changes: greenhouse gases, pollution, deforestration, plastic dangers etc.  We prepared posters,  a noticeboard, we connected on Skype to see dangers of plastic pollution to plants and animals.

During the meeting within the first week we discussed the causes for climate change. Firstly students said what came to their minds, what they already know. Then we started looking for some information online. One students draw the process how acid rain work what happens. The students also mentioned some situations out of their background.

What is causing Climate Change? Is it the same locally as globally?

Students from II Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Emilii Plater w Sosnowcu

The class worked in small groups. There were moments of individual work but mostly group work. The students played Plickers to express their ideas, played a puzzle to learn about the Sustainable Development Goals, made brainstorm about the causes, made some research online and at the School Library. They used the Padlet and Glogster tools to compile their ideas. Students were presented to a new digital tool, Sway. After some exploration the group made a presentation . At the end students reflected about their work and learnt from their experiences. There were 4 subjects involved: English, Geography,  Sciences and Maths.

And this the presentation students made to represent them. 

Students made a guided visit with the ICNF Technician to all the stations they had to work on for our final product: The Qr Codes linked to Our Website where their research works are to be used by all visitors of the Park. 

Students guided visit to our Ria Formosa Natural Park , in order to gather information and pictures of all the stations for our Walking Trail website using Qr Codes

This is the project's Newsletter. On this Sway there will be all the information about the Climate Change Project.

The students tried to find a connection between two important aspects nowadays.

Hi! My students are older now, they discussed a lot about climate change. They told that plastic, pollution of the air, of the ocean are real problems. We must to do something! Together we can make something good for our planet, but it `s important to begin.

Students from School 1517, Moscow, Russia want to greet all participants of the project. We started to learn onfo about climate and weather. Now exploring the causes of our changing climate

We're from Russia. And we're ready to work together.

we talk and learn about what is affecting global warming

7th grade students have been conducting their own little research about causes of Climate Change. They made a video where they talked in English and Serbian about their findings and also they drew illustrations about this problem.

Here are their conclusions:

Global warming is a slow and steady rise in Earth's surface temperature. According to the IPC*, human-caused global warming is driving climate changes impacting both human and natural system on all continents and across the oceans. Human-caused global warming results from the increased use of fossil fuels in transportation, manufacturing and communications.

*The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.

One of the girls wrote a fanny poem about climate change in the autumn in Serbian language. Then she made an effort to translate the poem so that it could be understood in English.

Climate changes in autumn

Autumn came, in a small walk through the city went.

In the nature changes are large, and at the Chinese there are expensive prize.

The sun is shining, until my neighbour sneezing.

The wind's really blowing, and I'm waiting for tea boiling.

The rain came to visit us, and in my house a cat is chasing a mouse.

An army of dark clouds approaches, as the sun slowly descends.

The leaves are getting yellow, the hard lessons are getting to me!

Climate change is any significant long-term change in the expected patterns of average weather of a region (or the whole Earth) over a significant period of time. Climate change is about abnormal variations to the climate, and the effects of these variations on other parts of the Earth.

Causes:

• Strength of the sun
• Changes in the Earth’s orbit
• Changes in the orientation of the Earth’s axis of rotation
• Carbon dioxide content of the oceans
• Plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions
• Ocean currents
• Vegetation coverage on the land
• Meteorite impacts
• Human Impact on Global Climate Change

Week 1
EXPLORATION

  This month our theme is named CHANGES and we started our week by introducing children of my group about Climate changes with aims:

•  to teach children to be responsible future citizens,
• to respect nature around us and our planet Earth.

  We watched on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUh3S8yrWbg

  We talked about what weather and climate are (https://climatekids.nasa.gov/climate-change-meaning/), (https://climatekids.nasa.gov/climate-change-evidence/ ), discussed about newly gained experiences.

  We tried to:

• determine concepts of weather and climate,
• understand the difference between weather and climate,  
• talk about how we know that weather and climate are changing,
• tryed to answer what  is causing those changes, what evidence we are seeing, feeling, and what we can do to slow it down.

  We talked about weather:

• can it change during the same day,
• can we feel with our senses if weather is changing,
• is it possible that tomorrow will be the same weather as it is today,
• how do we know if the weather changed....

We made agreement to measure weather by observing it everyday and taking notes of that activity. And to follow weather forecasts on tv.

  Children said that weather is… when its raining outside and we are holding umbrellas; when day, night, sun and moon, hot and cold day are changing; when there is snow and we can make snowman; when sun, storms and heavy clouds arrive…

  We talked about climate:

• can it change every day like maybe weather,
• how can we know if the climate is changing…

  Children said that climate is when strong winds are blowing and they twist; when ice melts where polar bears live (a boy watched educational film with his parents and was well informed due to rest of the group)

  After an introduction children worked in small groups according to their interests. They explored, communicated, collaborated and created drawings of what they found outside, made collage, predicted weather for next day, made a book of drawings, dramatization, ilustrated what is causing weather and  climate changes and what we can do to slow it down. At the end we made exibition of our drawings.

Week 1 activities.

We started the Climate Action project on October 1st. Our preschool group have 30 boys and girls age from 3 to 5. Yesterday and today we talked about what is clime and what is weather? Children where exploring, discussing, brainstorm and creative. They gave random answers and drew them all (simbols). Tomorrow we will talk and discuss what is causing climate changes.

Climate action Week 1 Karlovacka gimnazija Serbia

My student watched movie about climate change and created PPT

Our activities during the week 1 of a Climate Action Project - we made a power point presentation, with a story and pictures of what we were doing these days. Thank you for watching. Looking forward to make a video tomorrow. 

In the first week we discussed with children about climate and weather, and differences between climate and weather. Children were playing with seasons puzzles and we were discussing about changed characteristic of seasons.

Than we were discussing about causes of these changings and we concluded that causes are transportation, factories, mobile phones, deforestation...

We read story : "Factory of air" and children created various drawings.

Also, children worked in small groups and presented their work about climate changes knowledge.

We concluded that people caused all these changes.

From Subotica, Serbia

Kindergarten Teacher Nenad Temunović and his group of children called "Butterflies" begin a journey to learn about the causes  climate change.

Students think, talk, discuss and discover what are the causes of the Climate Change.

Finally they decide to write their messages on a " Red" paper as a symbol of EMERGENCY!!

They place them on the bulletin board so that the whole school can see them and think about them!

It's tough to handle in just a week all the thinking of Students about Climate Change but after hard brainstormings to explore the real causes of such a climate crisis...here, the awesome results :

'Students collaborating like scientific apprentices, dealing with such a delicate issue and in French...'

1- The main differences to know about Climate & Weather (developing background knowledge)

2- Their personal definition of Climate Change.

3- Development of their own prediction-hypothesis on the fact that climate is changing.

4- Their conclusions why Humans are causing the climate?

Video made from PowerPoint presentation in which the students of Earth Sciences explain the causes of climate change from an overview.

What is/are causing climate change?

Year 6 Climate Action Project

This is a project that has been done with year 6 students.

We had a class discussion about climate and weather and what the students thought was causing climate change.

The students then created a PowerPoint slide about what was causing Climate change.

Students watch VR videe about ecological changes, discussed them. Discovered alternative kinds of energy and made prototypes.

Our students presented their ideas on the topic "What is causing Climate Change? Is it the same locally as globally?"

Students discussed climate change.

Students worked in groups discussing the local ecological problems of our country.

This is the result of the research work of the students about the situation in our city. It is typical for a lot of others cities in Ukraine.

We had a panel discussion regarding causes of climate change in Ukraine and in the world. 

We discussed the difference between the words "the weather" and "the climate" and reasons of climate changing in our country and in the world! 

 Climate Action Project week1 International Club"PrimeStar" Okhtyrka Secondary Scool #1 Sumy Region Ukraine

What is causing Climate change? That is the question students are discussing today. We watch video, discuss, explore how weather and climate can be measured, argue, make a definition for climate change, draw pictures, create posters and more. So, it's great a start of the project!

We focused our attention on Greenhouse effect and how it is connected with Global Warming. After discussion we did an experiment.

Pupils of Rivne School 8 (Ukraine) decided to find out which factors cause global warming.

During the lesson we discussed about climate changes with pupils and made project to show this problems to our participants.

The students of Vinnytsia Gymnasium # 6 from Ukraine had a great start to week 1 of the Climate Action Project.

We focused on the causes for climate change globally and locally in Ukraine. We learned about the climate changes using NASA, UN and Royal Society websites and developed the posters summarizing our research.

We are happy to be in a great team of world change agents that currently includes 814 schools in 98 countries involving 92,731 students.

Week 1 at Brookmede PS

The Grade 7 students at All Saints determined the causes that we contribute to climate change. 

We started with an anticipatory worksheet to see what they expect from this project and to get diagnostic and formative assessment data for their work. They will complete the back when the project is done in our class.

We then discussed weather/climate/LOWERN factors, and students explored the overall questions of what is weather, climate, and climate change.

The Grade 10 English class from Dunnville Secondary School examined "What is causing Climate Change?" and then answered the question of "Is it the same Locally as it is Globally?"

The class came up with the following items for causing Climate Change:

-the burning and retrieving of fossil fuels/using non-renewable energy sources
-factory/transportation emissions
-methan emissions from animals
-clear cutting of forests/rainforests
-greenhouse gases
-politicians ignoring facts
-tobacco use
-purposely set forest fires
ABOVE ALL HUMANS!!!!!

Locally, the class decided that our community is contributing to climate change via the 2 factories in our community, the increase of water and road traffic in the summer and a number of greenhouses growing flowers all year round.  We are not, however, retrieving fossil fuels from the earth in our community.

Climate change causes, effects in Canada, and what might happen in the future.

In our #1MinutewithSDGs Campaign by SDGs For Children community, Shaurya Chakravarty from India explains his understanding of SDG13- Climate Action.  He believes in 'Action Now' and share how he is contributing to save our planet Earth and supports 'Climate Action'.

Students have been thinking about climate change this past month.  They have taken action by drawing messages on the sidewalks outside our school and many took part in the Climate March that happened in Ottawa, on Sept. 27th.

For this Climate Action Project, we started by taking a look at the question of what peoples beliefs are around climate change.   Considering the views of both sides of the climate change "debate" - students lined up and had paired conversations using the statements that they have heard from those who believe in climate change, and those that refute it.  By doing this, we were able to then discuss the things people say that run counter to the knowledge that climate change is real. 

We created this information video in the style of Common Craft Instructional Videos to show our learning about climate change during week 1 of the Climate Action Project. This was a whole class collaboration with each student contributing illustrations and narration. Enjoy!

Students analyzed the following and then created a SWAY to demonstrate their understanding.

WHICH HUMAN ACTIVITIES PRODUCE THE MOST GREENHOUSE GASSES.  PREDICT, SUPPORT AND EXPLAIN.

 RESEARCH AND THEN MODEL THE CARBON CYCLE AND   PHOTOSYNTHESIS. HOW IS THIS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE?

HOW AND WHY IS CLIMATE CHANGE OCCURRING LOCALLY?

 RESEARCH AN ACTIVITY THAT PRODUCES CARBON MONOXIDE AND REPORT ON THE EFFECT THIS ACTIVITY HAS ON CLIMATE.

http://A Disappearing Island: Climate Change at a Global and Local Scale The carbon cycle is how carbon is exchanged in the world. CO2 is the most important gas when it comes to maintaining the earths atmospheric temperature, but too much of it can be dangerous … Go to this Sway

This padlet captures student work, progress, and learning throughout the #ClimateAction project. 

Mariposa 8th grade students researched the causes of climate change and each created a page for our slideshow.

Here are two of my students discussing what they have learned so far week 1 of this project

6th grade students use a variety of sources to learn about Climate Change in particular the causes of Climate Change.  We have participated in the #FridaysForFuture climate strikes at our school and watched Greta Thunburg's journey to the US and work in the US to fight climate change.

This week the project was introduced with some exposure to what climate change is and what's causing it. The students watched and discussed the Alliance for Climate Education video, "Our Planet, Our Future". They were also given several other resources to look through. At the end of the week, the students reflected on what they learned by adding to a presentation. We are looking forward to learning and collaborating in the coming weeks. 

Here is our short video about some of the causes of climate change.

Students worked in groups discussing questions such as "What is Climate Change?"; What causes Climate Change?"; What can we do to stop or control Climate Change?" They were given 10+ minutes to discuss and research each question, using prior knowledge as well, and would post their answers on post-its to each poster. 

What is climate change?  What causes it?  Is it a global issue?  How is climate different from weather?  We address all of these questions.

Brief look at climate change causes and effects!

Some ideas on climate change and what we can do. 

We share a class for a brief time each week so we have to work fast! Each student in each of the three classes created a slide to share on the topic of Climate Action - why do we need it?  Many of them added their own audio but the quality was poor. This, therefore is a silent movie representing where the discussion took each of them!  Many of these students were part of last year's project and they could recall almost everything that we did in 2018.

Students from IVO school have been working on different natural disasters that hit our planet as one of the main causes that produce climate change.  This week, they will give you information about how these disasters are caused and where in Argentina they tend to occur. 

Students at Technical School N° 33 "Plumerillo" brainstormed causes of climate change, drew pictures representing them and gave them voice

Students in pairs drew the causes of climate change

Trabajaremos para concientizarnos y tambien difundir la problematica que tenemos y que sabemos no solo nos afeta a nosotros, sino afecta al mundo de una u otra manera. Que se puede crecer y unirnos para poder trbajar en forma local por una solución global. Que si no comenzamos a hacer algo hoy el futuro se encuentra comprometido. Tenemos esperanza en la fuerza de los jovenes y en la educación, por eso sabemos que debemos trabajar juntos por un mundo que todos merecemos.
