This first lesson set provides the foundation for the entire NCSE climate change curriculum. The five climate change core principles — It’s Real, It’s Us, It’s Bad, Experts Agree, and There’s Hope — are each individually addressed to provide students with overwhelming and definitive evidence that Earth’s climate is changing. By targeting what climate scientists repeatedly warn are the greatest misconceptions in their field, this lesson sets provides teachers with a powerful tool kit to give their students the skills and knowledge to identify and understand accurate science regarding climate change.
This lesson set was revised on November 5, 2021.
