Teaching Materials
Positives
- Each video provides educator information.
- The video host is a young female scientist.
Prerequisites
- The videos were produced in 2010, so some of the information is not up-to-date. Teachers should research each topic before showing the videos to students.
- Because each video focuses on a different topic, each video will require different prior knowledge.
Differentiation & Implementation
- Teachers can use the videos separately in lessons on climate change, energy, technology, or the carbon cycle.
- Students can choose a video, research the topic, and then present their findings to the class. Students should be sure to research developments that have occurred since the video was produced.
- Career studies classes can use these videos to teach students about career opportunities in the fields of science and engineering.
- Other resources on this topic include this lesson from MIT on climate solutions and this video on the positive effects of green roofs.
