Teaching tips
Positives
- The infographic simplifies the complex global change processes and phenomena, while the icon sets and Earth scenes can help students apply what they have learned.
- This resource is available in English, Spanish, and Danish.
Additional Prerequisites
- This resource would ideally be used with the information provided in this online interactive activity but can also be used as a standalone resource.
- The infographics and Earth scene include a grayscale version.
- Files will download automatically after clicking on the corresponding link.
- Files may not print correctly unless they are opened with Adobe Reader.
Differentiation
- Younger students can use the simplified versions of the infographics and icon sets, which use less technical and more accessible language.
- Rather than having younger age groups work individually or in groups, you can enlarge the materials to be used in a class activity.
- Enlarge the infographic into a poster to be displayed in your classroom.
- Considering the number of terms in the advanced version of the infographic and icon set, some students may find it helpful to have access to the materials before using them class to review the terms.
