We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Pear Deck, a student engagement platform rooted in active learning and formative assessment, to provide EiE’s lessons and activities in a ready-to-teach format. This partnership will support students in learning and discussion about engaging STEM subjects, like climate change. With lessons powered by Pear Deck, students can explore how human actions affect the environment, and how they can leverage this knowledge to make a positive difference in the world.
Visit the EiE Page on Pear Deck’s website to get started today.
Designed to support proven strategies in daily classroom instruction, Pear Deck makes it easy for teachers to follow best practices that reduce achievement gaps and improve outcomes for all students. Pear Deck enables educators to add interactive assessments directly into presentations, and provides real-time insight into student understanding to adjust instruction in the moment. With Pear Deck, teachers can connect with every single student in class — across every subject, every grade, and every day. To learn more, visit peardeck.com/efficacy
Students examine data about the causes and effects of climate change, clarify important terms and concepts, and create predictive models.
Students examine temperature data to draw conclusions about extreme temperature changes in Earth’s climate, and then explore their own local environments to suggest mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Students examine precipitation data to draw conclusions about the changes in Earth’s climate and review a video about temperature’s impact on extreme precipitation. Students then explore their own local environments to suggest mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Students examine data on the area burned by wildfire to draw conclusions about the changes in Earth’s climate since 2000 and review a video about temperature’s impact on wildfires. Students then explore their own local environments to suggest mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Students examine sea level data to draw conclusions about the changes in Earth’s climate since 1920 and review a video about temperature impact on sea levels. Students then explore their own local environments to suggest mitigation and adaptation strategies.
