- Comments from expert scientist:
Scientific strengths:
- The resource describes the difference between weather and climate
- Clearly describes how the greenhouse effect works
- Explains what clean energy is, how humans are affecting climate change, and what are ways in which people can help fight against climate change
Suggestions:
The information is very basic but it should be noted that by clicking on the underlined and starred words the reader can learn more information.
About the Pedagogy
- This quiz could be useful in classrooms to test students' knowledge of climate change and help them explore the topics around climate change. The 10-question interactive quiz contains key term hyperlinks and asterisk symbols to access supporting "Ology" cards to further enhance learning (e.g., definitions, descriptions, checks for understanding, fact or fiction statements, quotes from scientists, images).
- This resource fills the need for climate education resources for younger learners and those that benefit from adapted resources.
