This is a brainstorming activity to encourage students to activate prior knowledge of climate change from an objective point of view and to get a better understanding of the overall knowledge shared by the group.

In this lesson, students will begin by exploring the impacts and consequences of Climate Change through a poster gallery walk. Next, students will dive in deeper to the conversation by looking at climate change through the lens of mitigation and adaptation. Students will consolidate what they have learned by creating a concept map. 

In this lesson, students will use an interactive Climate Atlas to explore and learn about the impacts of climate change on FNMI (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) communities. Students will summarize what they have learned into multiple graphic organizers. 

During this activity, students will design a system to water plants automatically, using a Micro:bit and the Land Climate Action kit.

During this activity, students will set-up a micro:bit with a touch sensor and create an application that will count the number of “touches”. This can then be used as a garden monitor to check how many visits a particular flower gets in a day. You can then estimate the total number of pollinator visits by combining data from other students in your class if their pollinator counter is in the same garden!

This activity was modified using resources found on FNMIEAO website. Students will mimic mining using a cookie to understand the economics behind it and understand the environmental impacts. The activity is completed using this worksheet, which has a complete list of required materials. 

This lesson was modified from InkSmith's lessons on building a solar panel. This activity walks students through some background knowledge about solar panels and energy from the sun. It then provides step by step instruction on how to code and build a solar panel using a microbit and sensors found in the Climate Action Kit - Energy from Inksmith. This is best done over two classes. Here are the associated files.

This lesson was adapted from Microbit's lessons on environment data logger. This activity has students code a microbit so they can collect data on the optimal location to grow a plant. The coding portion of the lesson can be done over a single class, however collecting data would span over multiple classes. Analysis of the data would require at least another class depending on the follow up. Here are the associated files. There is a powerpoint that can used as a guided lesson for students to complete the code. Here is the link the completed code.
