"Climate Change & Energy Usage" Inquiry-Based Grade 5-7 Unit Plan
By Mark Holmes
Welcome to "Climate Change and Energy Usage" unit plan - a comprehensive 6-week unit designed for Grade 6 students. This carefully crafted unit aligns with the Alberta Grade 6 outcomes and focusses mostly on inquiry learning, offering an in-depth exploration of the complex relationships between energy usage, climate patterns, and ongoing climate change. This also covers many NGSS, TEKS and Virginia standards.
This unit engages students in a journey of discovery, encouraging them to investigate how historical energy use has influenced climate patterns, examine societal and economic factors behind energy choices, and explore climate change mitigation strategies. Through a blend of research, hands-on activities, and project-based learning, students will develop a deep understanding of climate change causes and impacts.
Key features of this unit include:
By the end of this unit, your students will have developed a holistic understanding of climate change issues, explored potential solutions, and reflected on their role in creating a sustainable future. This unit not only meets curriculum requirements but also empowers students to become active participants in addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
Equip your students with the knowledge and skills they need to understand and act on climate change. Download this comprehensive unit today and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards!
