Description
***This course is not available for the Track C July/August learning period.***
In this course, we will investigate the causes of climate change, how these changes impact the environment and human health, and what we can do to reduce this impact.
Activities include online gizmos to observe and measure weather, analyze hurricane motion, and investigate the effect of greenhouse gases on global temperatures. Learners will explore the impact of human activity on the environment –plastics!–and design a new functional product from recycled plastic. They will also calculate their own carbon footprint and create an action plan to reduce it.
