Lesson 12: Engineering Challenge: Adapting to Climate Change
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Design a simple solution or plan to mitigate or adapt to a specific climate change impact (e.g., coastal erosion, drought).
What are the specific constraints of your local environment (e.g., flooding vs. heat)? How can we use Earth's own systems to help solve the problem? |

HS-ESS2-4: Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth’s systems result in changes in climate.
Khan Academy resources on Earth Science, Climate, and Environmental Science.
DOK 3 (Strategic Thinking): Analyzing and interpreting data from climate models, formulating hypotheses about the effects of human activity, designing a model to represent a system interaction.
DOK 4 (Extended Thinking): Creating a detailed forecast based on geoscience data, designing a solution to a climate-related problem, synthesizing information to create a comprehensive argument.
