Positives

• This video addresses a topic that is not often discussed related to climate change and students that are interested in medicine or health may understand how climate change is relevant to their studies.
• This video also presents a concrete example of climate change feedback loops with melting permafrost, which can be a tricky concept for students to understand.
• Some of the visuals in the clip show a diorama of Arctic regions and the physical effects of melting permafrost, which is an interesting and accessible example of how to model physical change.

Additional Prerequisites

• Students should be familiar with the climate and geography in Arctic regions.
• There may be a commercial before the video.
  

Differentiation

• Some students could be bothered by the images of dead animals that are shown, so take that into consideration when showing this video.
• After showing the video, consider discussing other public health concerns related to climate change.  This could be a good area for further student research, especially if they do not see other impacts of climate change, locally.
• An additional resource that could be helpful is How Permanent is Permafrost.
