Does anyone have a great introduction Powerpoint on Climate Change? I just got the OK from my admin to teach a short unit (4 days) on the Climate project, but I have exactly 2 days to get it planned. I want to knock it out of the park, so I can expand it next year

Robert Aldrich , I am so sorry I am just seeing this!
I hate it when I ask a timely question and I don't get a response!
If you have time, would you please tell us how it went?
What did you end up planning? Did you knock it out of the park?

I pulled together a nice introductory Google Slides presentation explaining the difference between Global Warming and Climate Change. It included a brief overview of the history of Global Warming and CO2 emissions, Human impact, and why climate and weather are different. This took them into a class-long activity the next day, where they explored their own personal/family ecological footprint. I finished with a 3rd day where the students chose to explore 3 of 8 ways they can help reduce their impact on our planet. I didn't knock it out of the park, but I hit the wall. I have been permitted to teach my new elective next year, "The World on Edge," where I will be hitting topics like climate change, deforestation, pollution, and other global issues that will impact students' futures.

Robert Aldrich , This sounds like you easily got a triple out of this!!
This sounds like an informative and productive 3 days.
For your last day when students got to choose 3 of 8, where did you get the options? How did you present them to the students?
I'm sorry I wasn't any help when you were planning, but I'd really like to learn from you now!

I put together 8 areas that I thought would impact them the most as they moved into adulthood. I presented it to them as a mini-research or WebQuest with a purpose (I call them). I gave them many potential websites to look into, or they could find their own. I then gave them a template for recording their website, the question they are answering, and 4 informational questions (1 on data, 1 to summarize the potential issue, 1 to summarize current efforts, and 1 to reflect on what they can currently do to help lessen the impact)

Robert Aldrich I love, love, love this!
Is it too much to ask for you to share the slides/directions that you used?
In fact, if you are willing, I'd love to see the launch for the whole four days! I can see myself using this with my students.

If I can figure it out, I would be willing to share

Don't worry about making it fancy and/or polished. Just seeing how you laid it out for your students, and how you paced your days will be SO helpful!
THANKS!
