Positives

• This video is very informative and concisely summarizes how climate change can impact individuals' health in multiple ways.
• The video describes how health departments are identifying individuals at risk, quantifying health problems, developing community health supports, and evaluating the effectiveness of community health programs.
  
• The video graphics are engaging and illustrative of the climate health risks to help drive home the information presented in the video.
• The video touches on mental health and climate justice topics related to the uneven distribution of climate change burdens on vulnerable populations and disenfranchised communities.

Additional Prerequisites

• Students should be familiar with heat-related health effects.
• Students should understand how climate change is leading to increased extreme weather events.

Differentiation

• Before watching the video ask students, "How might climate change impact your health?"
• For an interdisciplinary assignment with environmental science and health, have students review data related to air pollution, asthma, temperature, and heat-related deaths.
• Have students raise their hands or "turn and talk" about if they know anyone who has been affected by asthma, air pollution, heat stress, or extreme weather.
• Science classes can use this video as a hook for lessons about homeostasis, hydrogen bonds (related to evaporative cooling from sweat or transpiration from trees), allergies, diseases, or parasites.
