    Ready-to-Teach STEM Lessons

    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.

    EiE + Pear Deck Units 
    The five lessons in this collection are designed by EiE to introduce students to four effects of climate change: extreme temperatures, extreme precipitation, wildfires and drought, and rising sea level.

    Climate Change Overview

    Students examine data about the causes and effects of climate change, clarify important terms and concepts, and create predictive models.

    Extreme Temperatures

    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.

    Extreme Precipitation

    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.

    Wildfires & Drought

    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.

    Rising Sea Level

    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.
