4 steps to raising awareness about climate change in your classroom
The aim of this learning scenario is to raise awareness about climate change. The activities in this learning scenario will be held and figure out in four steps:
- What is climate change?
- What are the causes and effects of climate change?
- Opinions about climate change?

First, they will learn the difference between the phrases “weather” and “climate”. After they will get informed about the seven continents of our planet, different climates in these continents and different results of climate change in each continent.
They will identify and discuss the causes and effects of climate change by the help of online teaching materials like videos and links from NASA and other web pages.
Finally, it is time to take aim at climate change. They will try to come to a solution to what should be done and how to prevent climate change. Europeana resources will help and contribute to the students’ learning process as well.
