This work is based on the result of a design-based research
on internationalizing climate change instruction. During the instruction,
the instructor introduced the content knowledge on climate change through a
lab activity. Next, the students visited six stations to understand the impact
of climate change on different areas of the world. They were also asked to
identify the patterns and trends associated with various global maps demonstrating
global climate change's differential impacts and complete a provided worksheet based
on this gallery-walk activity. After the gallery-walk activity, students were asked
to respond through a scientific report to the claim, “Climate change is the
great equalizer and equally affects everyone in the world.” The students
constructed a scientific explanation either in support of or against the
provided claim. The workshop participants will experience the activity and
discuss how to adopt it in their classrooms.
TAKEAWAYS:
