Analyze data to understand how changes in the greenhouse effect and water cycle caused by human activities have resulted in global sea level rise (HS-ESS2-2).Grade Level: High School (adaptable for Middle School).Modify this unit to meet your classroom needs! Context for Use Through activities, datasets, and Earth system modeling, learners construct explanations about how the water cycle, greenhouse effect, and human activities are connected to this phenomenon. This unit explores the causes, consequences, and mitigation of sea level rise. Sea level rise is a measurable, observable change in the Earth System that affects coastal ecosystems and human populations. Provide support for connecting and integrating climate and global change content into other parts of your curriculum.Įxample Units Sea Level Rise: Investigating local and global processes.Contain a scope and sequence of CLEAN resources that coherently build students’ understanding of anchoring phenomena.Include explanatory Earth system modeling activities informed by practices from Ambitious Science Teaching and Next Generation Science Storylines. Focus student learning around the explanation of anchoring phenomena, which are Measurable (observable) Changes in the Earth system identified in the UGC Infographic.Address specific high school Next Generation Science Standards, including the Science and Engineering Practicesand Cross Cutting Concepts.The National Science Foundation and NOAA funded CLEAN collection houses over 700 free, high-quality teaching and learning resources about climate and energy that have been carefully vetted by scientists and educators. The Understanding Global Change Project at UC Berkeley partnered with Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN) educators and classroom teachers to construct high school (adaptable for middle school) instructional units and lessons that engage students in UGC Earth System Modeling to explore CLEAN resources and datasets.
