The Climate Academy is an interdisciplinary opportunity for 9th graders that links their World History and Biology courses through the study of the environment, climate change, and climate action. While both courses mirror the key content and skills of other World History and Biology courses, the focus on the planet allows for deep understanding through relevant application

 

Activities in this micro-event will help students answer, "How have humans’ actions changed the earth and life on earth?" Through the history lens, students will examine primary sources, looking for evidence of human impact on the environment. Through the biology lens, students will collect data and make inferences about animal adaptations that resulted from the Industrial Revolution on the environment.
