Lesson 8

1. Understanding Weather Through Time
Lesson 8: Global Warming
In this lesson, students will learn about what is
currently happening with the weather all over the
world (extreme weather resulting from global
warming). Students will watch a video What’s the
Deal with Carbon? to understand the role carbon
plays in global warming and what the students can do
to help protect the Earth. Students will review how to
access the video on Seesaw and then complete an
activity after watching the video. Students who have
not finished their Book Creator books will complete
their books before watching the video. Students who
have completed their Book Creator Books will send
their completed Book Creator book to Seesaw before
watching What’s the Deal with Carbon?
