Climate Change Awareness and Action
A 5th and 6th grade curriculum
A 5th and 6th grade curriculum
This curriculum is intended to be taught in conjunction with a trip to Wolf Ridge
Environmental Learning Center (WRELC) and their "Changing Climate" classes.
However, the curriculum can be used without taking the classes at WRELC.
It is our hope that after reading through these lessons your own understanding of and comfort with teaching climate change increases and you use some or all of these lessons. Finally, this curriculum was developed to enable students to build on their awareness and knowledge of climate change, begin developing citizen action skills, and know that they can make a difference just by changing one thing.

Wolf Ridge Climate and Energy Class Notes
Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center is an accredited K-12 school. Students come for 3-5 day overnight stays with their teachers, classmates, and chaperones to learn about natural and cultural history, to explore environmental issues, and participate in team-building and personal growth activities. Eric is an alumni of Wolf Ridge's Graduate Naturalist Training program. We're excited to follow his journey to all 3 poles!
Check out what our naturalists are seeing this week at Wolf Ridge and the Energy Live! renewables use in Wolf Ridge's Science Center. Our Climate Change and Energy Choices and Climate Change and Ecology classes are posting to this blog.
