Beschrijving

This Climate Change and Biodiversity resource is an interactive professional development tool designed for teachers to integrate sustainability education into their science curricula. It guides students through species vulnerability assessments, allowing them to analyse real-world data on how climate change affects ecosystems and species survival. The resource aligns with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core Standards, ensuring relevance in science education. Students explore key environmental concepts such as adaptation, biodiversity loss, and conservation efforts through inquiry-based learning activities. Additionally, it encourages critical thinking and problem-solving, making it an excellent resource for educators seeking to enhance scientific literacy and sustainability citizenship in the classroom.
