For Educators
Model Lessons
Each lesson has been taught and tested in the classroom and can be scaled to fit your learners (5th-8th and 9th-12th).These problem-based model lessons were developed by teams of Colorado middle and high school teachers with CU-Boulder scientists and science educators at the "Making the Global Local" teacher workshop. Lesson topics are based on local content from the Learn More About Climate videos.
