Climate Change - Adaptation and Mitigation - Greta Thunberg
Unit Question - What value systems are impacting the causes and approaches to resolving energy use and climate change?
COULD I modify this unit to be some Action oriented unit?
Guiding Question:
To what extent has climate change occurred due to anthropogenic causes? (6.2)
How do differing perspectives play a role in responding to the challenges of climate change? (6.2)
To what extent can energy consumption be equitable across the world? (7.2)
ADD?? - Another hands on day or experiment? Kill-0-watt? Solar charger and use rates? Battery storage?
Internal Assessments are due
