Climate Science (High School)

The Climate Science series is a five lesson, high school-level exploration of the causes, impact and effects resulting from earth’s changing climate. SoundWaters Educators guide students through some of the complex topics relating to this important subject, explaining the chemistry and physics at work and how they impact humans, the natural world, oceans, and Long Island Sound. Importantly, students also examine options for remediating and mitigating the adverse effects of a warming planet.

We strongly recommend students begin by viewing Greenhouse Gasses, as that sets the stage for the other videos. The series can be completed by students working independently and will also fit well into the classroom context.

Topics Include:
Greenhouse Gasses
Ocean Acidification
Ocean Warming
Sea Level Rise
Climate Resilience

NGSS Alignment:
HS-ESS2-2 Earth’s Systems
HS-ESS3-6 Earth and Human Activity
