If you have access to streaming video, you may replace the slide show and data analysis with the KQED video (20 minutes) on ice cores found at:http://www.kqed.org/quest/television/web-extra-at-the-core-of-climate-change

7 min

Mitigation Introduction- We have talked about the presence of GHG's and how we detect them, how do you think we can limit them? We will be talking about this at different points over the next few lessons.- Have the chalkboard divided into four parts. Assign student pairs to one sector and have them discuss for four or five minutes how we might be able to decrease or "mitigate" GHG emission in these sectors. Have students write ideas on the board under the proper heading

Possible Sectors: Transportation, Heating & Cooling Buildings, Industry emissions, Electricity Use

12 min

Mitigation Presentation- Present slides on four or five of the wedge strategies that students will use for the summative assessment

HW

Concept Maps - Add the following terms and relationships to your Concept Map:Sea Level Rise, Glacial Cover, Ice Cores

Day 2

3 minBW: What parts of Earth's systems do you think are changing due to increased greenhouse gases? Try and think of two or three possibilities.

5 min

Introduction to Stations- Humans are responsible for significant increased carbon emissions that have an impact on physical and biological systems. Today we are going to look at evidence to make claims about the impact of increased emissions on the physical world. You will be divided into groups and rotate through four stations. Each station has the instructions and task cards. You will record your answers on the student handout.- Divide up students into four groups

Group Processing/Station Debrief- What claims can be made about climate change? - What is the evidence that climate is changing? What is the impact on physical systems?(Remind students to support their statements with data from the previous day's stations).- Is this evidence convincing?

HWWrite a paragraph summarizing the impact of climate change on the physical system. You should mention how confident you feel in the data that supports these claims.

Climate Change mitigation: actions we can take to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. For this lesson we will be learning

about 4 mitigation strategies. These strategies will help mitigate or reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is released into the

atmosphere.

2

This should be a review of earlier lesson

We know this from different sources like the ice cores that we just

discussed.

If we want to avoid changing the earth even more, we need to cut down

or mitigate the amount of carbon that we use.

At this point have students work in pairs or small groups for 5-7 minutes

to come up with ways in which they could reduce carbon emissions in the sectors shown on the next slide.

Some official definitions of mitigation: To moderate in force or intensity, to alleviate. To lessen in force or intensity. Elimination or reduction in

frequency, magnitude or severity of exposure. To minimize risk.

An informal definition that could be used to discuss the idea: Basically to make something that could be very bad less bad.

Ask for examples of things people do to “mitigate” for the following environmental effects:

Earthquake – build houses to building codes, try to get people to have emergency kits, meeting points.

Floods – build houses on stilts, make walls so the water can’t get in. Create dams.

Climate Change – mostly involve decreasing the amount of greenhouse gases of all kinds in the atmosphere. For the most part, mitigation cannot reverse warming that has already occurred, it can

only slow or stop what would come without any changes.
