This module is composed of three related activities that introduce students to climate change's complexity from a conceptual standpoint. In the first activity, students work in small groups to explore the global nature of climate change by locating climate change impacts and drivers on a world map. In the second and third activities, students make a concept map and explain common climate change terms. The activities clarify the interactions between people, biology, and the physical aspects of the Earth with respect to the causes and consequences of climate change. A basic understanding of greenhouse gases and their primary emission sources is beneficial, but the small group activities will enable students and teachers to coteach each other about the topics so the module will accommodate students and facilitators with different background knowledge. These highly interactive small group activities emphasize collaborative learning and are suitable for high school, introductory college, and for community teach-in events.
