Oceans & Seas: Investigating Climate Change

This Prezi, Oceans & Seas: Investigating Climate Change, is part of a free climate change series, and it specifically focuses on how increases in C02 are affecting our oceans. Students analyze the differences between land-based and water-based melting of ice, and more broadly its effects on rising sea levels. After doing an experiment and gathering more information, the students create an infographic, Prezi, or Prezi Video.

The lesson is roughly 250 minutes, and it is sourced from Open Educational Resources from PBS and NASA. It is geared toward grades 4-5. It could also easily be used for grade 6 as well, and it is aligned to CCSS and NGSS.

We urge you to make a copy of the Prezi and adapt it as you see fit for your own classroom context. Use this link to access the Prezi.
