The Internet
has brought global issues to the doorstep. Teachers and homeschool parents,
here are free resources to help students understand s some of the world's
most complex world problems from UNICEF. UNICEF or the United Nations
Children's Fund has many lesson plans and educator resources for social
studies, science and geography. Here are free environmental science printables from UNICEF to
teach climate change, global warming, world poverty and
hunger.
Climate
Change printables cover content and subject areas across the curriculum:
writing, comprehension, science, social studies, world cultures, geography,
environmental science, technology, health, weather, global warming, natural
resources and much more. Climate Change helps students to explore how global
warming affects different populations differently and how this causes poverty
and world hunger. It shows how human interaction--air and water pollution,
deforestation, strip mining, carbon emissions--have driven climate change.
As
with all UNICEF activities, Climate Change not only gives facts and figures,
but also student response activities. Climate Change explores how human actions
in first world developed and post-industrial countries affect those in second
and third world nations. Students learn how poverty is created, how people
become poor, stay poor and getting poorer. Climate Changes explores how the
earth affects and is affected by world poverty. It explores how global warming
creates cycles of hunger, famine, illness, epidemics, disease and starvation.
It shows how man-made but also natural disasters stem from negative human choices.
UNICEF environmental science printables provide ways students can respond to
global crises.
