What is Global Warming and What Can We Do?

TaskOur Students will work together to gather information that explains global warming and how we can fix it.

Roles4 Students GroupLand Pollution: Find examples of Land Pollution and How we can fix it.Water Pollution: Find examples of Water Pollution and how it effects people.Air Pollution: Researches Greenhouse gases and examples of air pollution.Scientist: Researches renewable and nonrenewable resources and Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Land Pollution1.How do people rely

on the land?

Books For Further Study

Planting a SolutionAt the end of the class each student will receive a small tree to plant and take care of in order to help reverse global warming.

Further Study• Cleaning up a local park or lake• Global Warming Solutions Science Fair• Set Up Specific Recycling Bins in the Class Room (for plastic, paper,

etc.)• Build Global Warming in a Jar
